The ride on a bus with firearms of different calibers is just the tip of the iceberg of a plot that the fragmented
Laferrere
barra
brava
has been writing for some years .
The episode happened in the run-up to the third date of the
First B
championship to face
Deportivo Armenio
and was replicated on social networks, which led to the intervention of
Aprevide
and the request for ex officio intervention from the Functional Instruction and Trial Unit (
UFIJ
) number 1.
The intelligence tasks to identify, at least, those who held the weapons in the viral video also served to establish a more critical scenario that determined the suspension of the next match as Laferrere had to play in their stadium, for the fifth date against Liniers,
due to the possibility of a confrontation between the factions
that dispute the official character of the barra brava.
Then, nine days after the investigation began, the Organized Crime Directorate of the Buenos Aires Police arrested three people “between 33 and 35 years old” who were in the same car that in the viralized images
was guiding the bus on line 96
that had been “taken over” by the gangs and in which some brandished firearms.
In the operation they seized the car, a Renault Clio, 15 cell phones, nine t-shirts with Laferrere club emblems, three shorts and two long pants with the same insignia, two snare drums and six drumsticks, among other items.

Video
Barras de Laferrere were shown with weapons and machine guns on a bus route to the field.
There are two groups that are fighting for control of the bar: “La 79” and “La Familia Villera”, but the situation worsens because one of the groups has the support of “
Chaki Chan
”, the alias by which it is known. Nicolás
Nahuel Guimil
, drug trafficker from the Buenos Aires suburbs.
Chaki Chan
has been in prison for more than six months, but he maintains his power behind bars and commands one of the factions, with which he protects his illegal activity.
In 2022, he offered the head of the Laferrere brava gang the possibility of having the members of that group distribute his drugs.
The refusal had an immediate response:
a group of hitmen on two motorcycles ambushed the bar's car and fired a burst of 20 bullets
, of which five hit.
He saved his life and got away from the paravalanches, which remained in the hands of the people who respond to
Chaki Chan
.
However, when the drug trafficker was arrested a year later, the former leader of the bar began to draw up a plan to regain control with his group calling itself
“La 79.”
"For security reasons, the entity in charge of sporting events speaks of a possible confrontation between fans in the vicinity, or in the stadium itself, which is why it makes the decision to suspend the event,"
was the club's statement. on their social networks to report, without too many details, the suspension of the match that
will finally be played behind closed doors on February 28 at 5 p.m.
at the Argentino de Merlo stadium.
Two of the three arrested in raids carried out in La Matanza.
“From the first date this issue came up, that there were going to be confrontations between two sectors of the bar, and we notified security and Aprevide to take care of the fans and families. And on Monday, the rumors in the city were stronger, we gave the report to the security forces and the decision was made to suspend the game
," said the president of the club,
Gabriel Aranda
in an interview with Radio Universidad. , in which he admitted having received telephone threats, which he reported to the Court.
“
They want to link me to the issue of drugs, but I am calm and at the disposal of the Police and Aprevide
.
We want another Laferrere, the one with sporting successes, works, family.
Then for the other thing there are the security forces, who have to do their job
,” he indicated in the interview.
In the middle of last year, they also arrested who had been vice president of Laferrere until August 2022,
Esteban Quiñones
, whom Justice investigated for links to
La Familia Villera
, the faction that controls
Chaki Chan
.
The director's resignation is recorded in a minute of the assembly that bears Aranda's signature.
“They want to get us dirty, and you can see that Laferrere is blaming them in the media.
We always made ourselves available to Aprevide and the police.
After the match was suspended, the people from Aprevide came to check the stadium and did not find anything, nor will they find anything, because the club has nothing to do with all this,” Aranda concluded.
