The incorporation fee to be paid by Deportes Valdivia for playing in Primera B it generated multiple repercussions in 2016. One of them was the complaint made by Deputy Iván Flores in the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office (FNE). The initiative ended this week.
The Court of Defense of Free Competition (TDLC) sanctioned the ANFP with a fine of US $ 2.3 million, and with the elimination of the measure. “It is an artificial barrier that hinders market entry,” says the final judgment.
Flores, Member of Parliament for the Los Ríos Region, valued the resolution: “In 2016 we said that Valdivia He had earned the right to move up the field and not on a bench. We went with a group of fans and club officials to speak with the Minister of Justice because there were irregularities. “
“The owners of First Division clubs decided to collect an exorbitant amount of money as entry and that is not only an unfair fact, but also unsportsmanlike and anti-social. So I gave the fight (…) It was an arbitrary and bully decision, “adds Flores.
The ANFP issued a brief statement on Friday afternoon: “This sentence is susceptible to claim before the Supreme Court and the ANFP will exercise all the resources that the law grants it.”
Iván Flores insists: “The ANFP will not get away with it. This matter is not over yet, and we will continue in the next instances. The result of the FTA is a tremendous boost to the clubs of the regions.
The former president of the Chamber of Deputies, furthermore, stated that he will fight for compensation to the clubs that had to pay the incorporation fee after achieving the Second Division title: “I will not loosen up to continue helping Deportes Valdivia until they return the money that was unfairly paid. ”
