Jesús Berardinelli, president of the Venezuelan Football Federation (FVF), was arrested in Yaracuy on the morning of Monday, July 20, he was able to get to know this Editorial House through a source close to the dome of Venezuelan football.
“It is not known which body detained him, or what he is accused of, but they did arrest him and they would be sending him to Caracas,” added the source.
Venezuelan journalist Federico Rojas, through his twitter account, said that “he remains detained in Yaracuy, after being held responsible for falsifying a document.”
On his side, also journalist Gerardo Blanco, chief of information for the newspaper Últimas Noticias, published a letter in which “the Prosecutor’s Office shows that the document presented by the @FVF_Oficial president, Jesús Berardinelli, and the secretary general, Tomás Álvarez, to try to remove @rafaeldudamel and sanction the third vice president, Reinaldo Berardinelli, he was FALSIFIED. “
The journalist adds that “the Public Ministry also opened a criminal investigation to find out who was responsible for the falsification of the document, which was recorded by Berardinelli and Álvarez in the Directory of the @FVF_Oficial on December 11, 2019.”
The Comptroller
Last week, the Comptroller General of the Republic, Elvis Amoroso, asked the Superintendency of Institutions of the Venezuelan Banking Sector (Sudeban) to suspend bank transactions related to Jesús Miguel Berardinelli Lezama.
According to the Comptroller’s Office, the request “is due to presumed administrative irregularities, evidencing the irregular handling of millions of dollars granted by the Venezuelan State for the development of FVF sports activities and which were not used for this purpose” .
Berardinelli said on Saturday, July 18, that he appealed to the Arbitration Court of Sport (TAS), the highest jurisdiction in the sports world, a veto imposed by the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol).
“I appealed,” said Berardinelli in an interview with local radio Hot 94.1 FM, after acknowledging that Conmebol took away his right to vote on the board of directors due to problems with the suitability test required by that organization.
“They deny the suitability test (…) for a case that happened 30 years ago,” said the 61-year-old leader, who definitively took over the FVF presidency when his predecessor, Laureano González, resigned last 11 of March. He had previously previously taken office on an interim basis.
