A major brand scandal is taking place in Argentina, after the arrest of Mauro Scaloni, brother of the coach of that country's national team, Lionel, for extortion and coercive threats.
What is known is that Scaloni was arrested last Thursday in front of the embassy of United States in Buenos Aires, as published by radio.
What is known
It is understood that he was approached by police following a warrant requested by the Investigation and Trial Unit. Santa Fe, led by Dr. Viviana O'Connell.
The press warns that Scaloni, 47, was detained by the Anti-Drug Division, and that in the car he had an arrest warrant for extortion and coercive threats.
“Mauro and Lionel Scaloni trained as footballers in the Club Sportivo Matienzo de Pujato, the small Santa Fe town from which they are natives. From there they jumped to the lower divisions of Newell's, where the younger brother became more important,” said La Nacion de Argentina, from the GDA.
And he added: “Not only did he debut in the first Lepra team, but he was recruited by José Pekerman for the Argentine youth teams. It was then that Estudiantes de La Plata became interested in Lionel. But Mauro also arrived behind the current coach of the Argentine national team, in an operation that would be repeated years later when Deportivo La Coruña bought both of their passes and took them to Spain.”
