Superclásico: "El Traidor" Detained for Attacking Police Officer

The highly anticipated Superclásico between River Plate and Boca Juniors was marred by violence on Sunday, with the arrest of a notorious hooligan known as "El Traidor" for attacking a police officer. The incident occurred outside the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires, where River Plate hosted their fierce rivals.

Tensions High Before Kick-off

As is often the case with this heated rivalry, tensions were high even before the match began. Police presence was heavily increased around the stadium to prevent any pre-match violence, but it seems that some fans were determined to cause trouble.

"El Traidor," whose real name is believed to be Diego Pérez, is a known figure in the world of Argentine football hooliganism. He has been linked to La Barra Brava, the ultra-violent River Plate fan group, and has a history of violent incidents at matches.

Attack and Arrest

Witnesses described seeing "El Traidor" engage in a heated altercation with a police officer, culminating in a physical assault. The officer sustained minor injuries but required medical attention.

Following the incident, police swiftly apprehended "El Traidor" and he is currently in custody awaiting charges. He is expected to face serious charges related to assault and potential disruption of public order.

Superclásico overshadowed by Violence

The incident casts a dark shadow over the Superclásico, which is already known for its passionate and sometimes dangerous atmosphere. While the match itself was played in a relatively peaceful manner, the incident involving "El Traidor" highlights the ongoing issue of football hooliganism in Argentina.

Calls for Action

Following the attack, there have been calls for stronger measures to be taken against football hooliganism in Argentina. Some are calling for increased police presence at matches, while others advocate for more stringent punishments for those involved in violence.

The arrest of "El Traidor" sends a clear message that authorities are serious about tackling football violence. However, it remains to be seen whether this will be enough to deter future incidents and ensure that future Superclásicos are enjoyed without the threat of violence.
