The club's former president replied to the criticism, stated that he had donated almost 25 million dollars, and emphasized that 'he would never touch a single peso' from the club
The institutional crisis at San Lorenzo shows no sign of abating. Following Marcelo Moretti's return to the presidency after a three-month leave of absence, the public reappearance of Marcelo Tinelli was added, as he used his Threads account to issue a strong statement in defense of his time at the club.
"I didn't steal nor would I ever take a single peso from San Lorenzo," Tinelli stated, in a clear reference to the accusations that have surrounded him in recent months. The former president not only defended his administration but also highlighted the projects that, according to him, were financed with personal contributions.

Among them, he mentioned the residence and the youth building, the synthetic grass fields, the home and away locker rooms, the official box, and the Roberto Pando sports complex.
Tinelli asserted that, during his tenure, the club reached 75,000 active members and that he personally made multi-million dollar contributions. "I donated almost 25 million dollars to San Lorenzo," he stated, although he acknowledged that he still holds loans of about 6 million.
In his lengthy message, he also recalled how he found the institution when he took office: "20,000 members, negative net worth, 8 players on the professional squad, and more than 500 lawsuits against the club."
Despite highlighting differences with the current leadership, Tinelli concluded with a conciliatory tone: "It's time for all of us to come together more than ever and unite efforts to put San Lorenzo where it always belongs."
Moretti's return and Tinelli's statements once again expose the internal fractures of a club that is experiencing one of its worst leadership crises in recent years.
