During the early hours of this Wednesday, March 5, the headquarters of Unión woke up to a serious incident that caused unrest. A suspicious package was found on a nearby sidewalk, on López y Planes Avenue at 3500, and after being inspected by explosives specialists, it was determined that the mysterious box contained a harassment grenade in good condition and a note with a threat directed at the club's board of directors.

The paper, allegedly attributed to Unión's barrabrava, said: "Either we all get in or the next one explodes," and specifically mentioned "Fabián" and "Adrián" Galeano, urging them to "stop sending the cops."
The discovery occurred around 2 a.m., when a 911 call alerted authorities about the presence of the suspicious package. Officers from the Motorized Brigade and a specialized explosives team arrived at the scene and, following security protocol, ruled out the risk of the grenade's activation.
