The Government of Javier Milei made the decision to ban access to stadiums and any other sporting event for the hooligans involved in the attempted coup that occurred in Congress last Wednesday during the riots.
The measure affects 26 criminals, who were sanctioned with the "Administrative Attendance Restriction" to all sporting events nationwide for an indefinite period, as established in resolution 343/2025 published in the Official Gazette. All of them are charged with the crime of "assault and resistance to authority."
In the grounds of the regulation, Milei's Government explained that the decision was made after "the episodes of violence of public and notorious knowledge, carried out by groups of people mostly identified with sports club colors, in the Congress Square and its surroundings, on March 12 of this year, in supposed support of the meetings that usually gather retirees and pensioners, incidents that led to the pertinent intervention of personnel from the National Gendarmerie, Argentine Federal Police, Argentine Naval Prefecture, and the Buenos Aires City Police."
"The actions of the aforementioned security forces in applying the current protocols and regulations managed to reduce and detain the aggressors who caused disturbances, threw projectiles, sharp objects at personnel, people, public and private property, vehicles, and mobile units of the different forces stationed at the site," it adds.
Additionally, it is also detailed that "their violent actions obstructed pedestrian and vehicular traffic, in addition to causing injuries of varying degrees to 31 security personnel present in the prevention operation."
After identifying the detainees, the authorities confirmed that twelve of them had criminal records and active arrest warrants, in addition to previous restrictions on attending football events.
