The legal expert pointed out that the team which formed the defender was suspended after the Ecuadorian Football Federation and the coaching staff of the National Under-20 team released several players for falsifying their documents.
Key days have been spent awaiting FIFA’s resolution regarding the complaint filed by the Chilean Football Federation against its Ecuadorian counterpart and Byron Castillo for the defender’s irregular inclusion in the last South American Qualifiers and which they gave to the Reds the opportunity to attend the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Yesterday, the national association’s lawyer, Eduardo Carlezzo, took the time to present the steps taken by the legal team in their investigation and to show the evidence that accompanied the complaint before the FIFA disciplinary unit.
Among these is the fact thatThe Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) and the coaching staff of the U-20 national team have resolved the dismissal of several players due to problems with their documentation, including Byron Castillo . The origin of everything is in the club North America that’s why he was suspended for being behind the counterfeits. For their part, civil status officials in Guayas were dismissed for the same reason. ”.
The case of North America
The situation that Byron Castillo is experiencing today is not new. In fact, the team that formed it, Club Norte América, has 73 cases of players who have presented irregularities with their identity. .
Indeed, in a series of investigations carried out in 2017, double birth certificates, non-valued registrations, non-existent certificates, as well as identity theft and double identities were observed.
“A new report generated by the Vital Statistics, under the supervision formed by the CPCCS, reveals that, out of more than 350 files examined, 73 cases of players with irregularities in identity documents were detected, perpetrated in the last 10 years. What is unusual is that it is the same club said Xavier Burbano, member of Ecuador’s Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control in 2017.
In addition, the Civil Registry has requested from the Ecuadorian Federation a list of players federated by the club in the last 10 years. After the analysis, inconsistencies were detected in 81 of the 466 players.
But that’s not all, because in 2015 three players from North America were called up to the U17 squad. However, these have not passed the validation process for their documents . There, the hypothesis that they were Colombians was manipulated, but without being verified.
punishments
The sanction of the club from the province of Guayas came in 2018, precisely for falsification of identities.
Colonel Jaime Jara, director of the commission of inquiry of the FEF, underlined on the occasion that “the reports are well substantiated. We have the agreement with the civil registry, which is on the right track. We have six thousand cases. Player irregularities will continue to be disclosed. Once we clarify the cases, it goes to the Disciplinary Commission and from there to the Office of the Prosecutor ”.
“Many bad civil servants have left the civil registry. From the North American club. We have many counterfeit cases. The origin of everything is in the North American club. From there, cases are rolled out to more clubs. North America has been suspended for counterfeiting cases discovered added Jara.
