All Boys' barra brava raided for antisemitic violence against Atlanta

The police seized, among other things, a Palestinian flag. In addition, there are now 17 people banned from attending the stadium

The City Police seized in various raids a Palestinian flag, a mask, and clothing used during the antisemitic act carried out by All Boys' barras bravas at the end of last month, hours before a match against Atlanta.

Additionally, the Buenos Aires Security Ministry added another barra to the 16 who were already banned from entering stadiums for the next four years.

The operations were carried out in response to the violent acts committed by All Boys' barra brava on June 29, before playing matchday 20 of the Second Division of Argentine football.

That day, the troublemakers hung a banner with the phrase "Death to the Genocidal State of Israel" just meters from the stadium. Additionally, a group of barras carried a cardboard coffin with the flag of Israel, as well as with Atlanta's colors, a club closely linked to the Jewish community in Argentina.

Following a request from the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for the Fight against Discrimination of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the City, led by Andrea Scanga, the Criminal, Misdemeanor, and Offenses Court 20, Secretariat of María Cecilia Martínez, ordered a series of raids, one of them in an apartment located half a block from All Boys' stadium, on Álvarez Jonte Avenue at 4200, and in Santo Tomé at 5000, about fifteen blocks from the stadium.

However, that was not the first time incidents of this kind have been recorded in matches between All Boys and Atlanta. On June 7, 2024, the Buenos Aires City Security Ministry applied the right of admission to five All Boys fans for having committed antisemitic acts during the match between both teams on matchday 19 of Primera Nacional.
