Despite the administrative elimination from the Copa Sudamericana over a month ago, Independiente is not giving up and has returned to pursue the matter in the offices. This Tuesday, the club's legal representatives held a hearing before CONMEBOL to request a review of the ruling that excluded it from the international competition and imposed a fine of 250,000 dollars, in addition to seven matches without home fans and seven without visiting fans.
The Rojo delegation, led by attorneys Maximiliano Walker and Ariel Reck, requested a drastic reduction of the penalties. The proposal seeks for the sanctions to be adjusted to a "more reasonable" scale, with one match without home fans and three without visiting fans, relying on precedents of similar cases with lighter punishments.
