In Rosario, solely to this point this 12 months, 156 murders have been recorded. However in latest days the primary detectives of the Felony Investigation Company (AIC), of the Santa Fe Police, have been behind a Newell’s flag (40 meters by 40). It’s the one which was exhibited on the farewell get together for Maximiliano Rodríguez, on June 24, and through which Lionel Messi and Ángel Di María participated, amongst different world figures.
For the provincial Justice, the design of the flag represents the leaders of the membership’s barra brava: Carlos “Toro” Escobar, Leandro “Pollo” Vinardi and Ariel Máximo “Guille” Cantero, who can also be the pinnacle of a faction of the drug gang “Los Monos”.
The three have simply been charged with “public intimidation” and “illicit affiliation” (they’re already in custody for different crimes), like Cristian David Ayala, who was arrested final Friday.

Ayala is a delegate of the Truckers Union and visited Escobar in several federal prisons. In keeping with the accusation, he would have complied with the order to order the flag in a workshop within the west of Larger Buenos Aires, to pay 1,500,000 pesos and to move it to Rosario at an extra value of 500,000 pesos.
However, on Wednesday a video of the brand new protagonist of the story went viral. It belongs to Ignacio Astore, president of the membership; within the picture he seems getting into the stadium whereas a bunch of bars removes the flag, the day after the sport. He unlocked a gate in order that the group might put “the curtain” on a truck.
“I’m not the one to know the that means of that flag on the time, I didn’t realize it was a narco flag,” was the flimsy and weird protection of the chief, who went additional: “I’m the president of a membership, I’m neither police or Minister of Safety”.
“The day after the tribute match, the taking part in subject had been left in deplorable circumstances and we needed to face a duel for the Copa Sudamericana, that is why I went to the sphere,” Astore accomplished.

With the dissemination of the video, a bunch of Newell’s members and individuals from membership teams organized to carry a march on Thursday afternoon. The target was to specific discomfort towards Astore’s angle. However from what Clarín was capable of be taught, a number of of these followers acquired intimidating messages and determined to droop the protest.
“The thought is to make a judicial presentation in order that it’s at the very least suspended,” says a detailed good friend of the membership. And he provides: “Till his state of affairs is clarified, since a case could be opened for him and the statute says that the accused can not train their activity as managers.”
The story of the “rag”
“The flag was a message,” says an individual who got here to the Canteros. “They wished to say ‘we’re the bosses and the sphere is ours’.” Prosecutor Luis Schiappa Pietra argued: “The show of this flag was an act via which these talked about made public their means to run unlawful companies, to affect different individuals, and expose their means to ascend and/or decide them.” .
To know the plot, it’s important to go into the previous. As a result of the flag, which carried the legend “We’re past all the things”, along with caricatures of a bull, a hen and a monkey, marked a form of truce between two teams. Or it was placed on show when tensions between two teams had cooled down.
The second they took the Los Monos flag out of the Newell’s stadium, in Rosario.
“We’re all mates. All these you will title within the be aware are mates. We’ve got identified one another our complete lives,” clarifies a metropolis supply, who supplies lots of data that doesn’t seem in information or police profiles.
On one aspect are those that handle, amongst different issues, the Newell’s barra brava. They’re Carlos “Toro” Escobar and Leandro “Pollo” Vinardi (each prisoners in Ezeiza). Together with Ariel Máximo “Guille” Cantero (detained in Marcos Paz), they’re represented on the controversial flag that’s nonetheless being looked for in each nook of Rosario, though they are saying it could possibly be close to Buenos Aires.

On the opposite aspect is the group of Leandro “Gordo” Vilches, Pablo Camino and Rodolfo “Eri” Masini (all housed in federal jail 6 in Rawson). What unites each teams is their identification with “Los Monos”. Or, reasonably, with the faction of “Guille” Cantero”.
It’s that in Rosario each gang should pay to have the ability to promote medicine or do their illicit enterprise. Those that cost for this “allow” are the “Los Monos” clan, that of Esteban Lindor Alvarado (detained within the Ezeiza jail) or that of Julio Andrés “El Peruano” Rodríguez Granthon (imprisoned in Ezeiza).

Masini and Vilches could be the suppliers of “Toro” Escobar’s cocaine shipments. These transactions, generally, happen below the modality often called “hung”. In different phrases, the drug is delivered, the one who receives it sells it and solely then pays the provider. In Rosario narco is quite common.
Apparently, at one level, Escobar would have stopped paying. The debt, from what Clarín was capable of be taught, would have reached $170,000. Though the official model states that it was 60,000. Within the metropolis, a kilo of cocaine prices between 5,000 and 6,500 {dollars}.
“They spent six months attempting to cost them for good. Till they began killing individuals,” provides one of many sources. Apparently, Masini and firm have began to have issues with their supplier, “El Peruano” Rodríguez Granthon. In addition they paid once they offered the drug. However by not having the ability to gather from Escobar and Vinardi, it was troublesome for them to repay the debt to Granthon.

“Guille” Cantero would have been consulted by each teams. And he would have ignored the issue. “It is your corporation; it’s important to remedy it with out me.” Earlier than, he would have given the order to “Toro” to cancel the debt.
“‘Guille’ is the proprietor of the bar,” explains one other connoisseur of the atmosphere. He continues: “He’s the one who decides who runs it; who’re the capos. This time he selected ‘Toro’ and ‘Pollo’. They bill with the sale of tickets, the road distributors, the garments and all the companies within the pitch. They need to pay Cantero part of that.” As well as, they handle the retail sale of medicine of their neighborhoods.
Realizing that “Toro” and “Pollo” are sturdy at Newell’s, the opposite group, bored with claiming their debt, determined to go away them a message in entrance of the membership’s stadium. It mentioned: “Damián Escobar, Leandro Vinardi and Gerardo Gómez, cease taking boys out of the membership to shoot in Rosario.”

The textual content was subsequent to the physique of Lorenzo “Jimi” Altamirano, a punk musician who had nothing to do with drug trafficking and bars, however who was killed by mail. “They instructed them ‘we’re throwing a lifeless man at you on the sphere, repair your self'”, interprets a supply.
The Public Prosecutor’s Workplace (MPA) attributed one other 4 homicides to him, plus the capturing in entrance of the grocery store belonging to the daddy of Antonela Roccuzzo, Messi’s spouse. They charged 13 individuals.
In Rosario, there are those that say that the debt has been cancelled. Others, {that a} half was paid and that there’s a promise and that the warfare has stopped. However the one concrete factor is that the flag nonetheless doesn’t seem.
