‘It’s a media show’
In an interview with ‘Blu Radio’, Millionaires’ lawyer, Manuel Archila, spoke about what happened: “It is impossible to understand what happened. They have not only wanted to attack the player, but now they want to sully his dignity, putting on shows, with procedures that are unintelligible.”.
In the video, it was evident that the government authorities could not establish communication with the player.
“In the days after the attack on Cataño, a Millonarios official received a notification in his mail. Our official responded that he was not the one who should receive that message and that the communication should be made to Millonarios. There, we told these officials from Ibagué to make the request to lift the player’s habeas data, because we could not deliver their private player data. They never did it like that, it seems to me like they said it, it’s a media show” (sic), Archila commented.
“We really do not see up to now a greater risk for the player, it seems to us that there is a violation of his dignity. We believe that he acted in legitimate defense, immobilized the fan who violated him and left the place. Thus, nothing can be done against Cataño. Rather, we think that this warrants disciplinary and even criminal actions for suspicious actions by the municipality. Everything is very curious, as if everything had been a setup to affect the player, “concluded Archila.
