24 Atlético Nacional barras bravas were sent to pretrial detention in Paraguay after being charged with crimes related to “disturbance of public peace” and “transgression of Law 1,340” (which represses drug trafficking, resistance and aggression against police personnel), for events that occurred last Wednesday, before the match that the purslane team lost 0-3 against Olimpia, from Asunción.

According to local media reports, after the accusation made this Friday, Judge Yennirfer Insfrán ordered the preventive detention of the 24 baristas from the Antioquia team, captured near the Conmebol headquarters in Asunción, after leading disturbances in the Nacional training session prior to the match vs. Olympia.

According to the authorities, the subjects staged a fight among themselves, drunk and with bladed weapons. Apparently, they did not want to clear the area after being hit by the police.

Later, it was discovered that they did not have entry documents. Cocaine, possible marijuana and knives were seized.

As it has been known, 10 of those sent to pretrial detention tested positive for the breathalyzer test carried out after their arrest.
