Ecuadorian lawyer excites Chile by explaining why Ecuador can be sanctioned for the Bryon Castillo case – La Roja

–

The expectation continues for the complaint of the ANFP against Ecuador for doubts regarding the nationality of Byron Castillobecause now we are waiting for the verdict of the FIFAwhich could leave the Red in it Qatar World Cup 2022 by secretariat.

In the middle of the case, an expert lawyer on the subject set off the alarms for Ecuador and gave Chile hope, since George Sosa assured that FIFA will see the issue through the Code of Discipline and not through the Code of Ethics, so the federations are sanctioned and not the players.

“The FIFA statute grants the Federation responsibility not only for intentionality. It says textually if it is due to negligence or any other act of the player. That is, according to my legal criteria, it is that it even makes it responsible for the Disciplinary Code up to slight blame to the Federation”, explained to the media Wuan Plus.

“You can say that there was no intention, there was no negligence, but Chile can say in quotes ‘you did not take the care that a good father of a family should have,’ which is the subject to which slight fault is assimilated. If you weren’t careful despite the warnings, that does make you responsible. Those criteria are in the Disciplinary Code,” he added.

“It is worrying, because Chile does not have to demonstrate the intention of the Federation to knowingly employ the player, it can demonstrate that it did not take good care. That is, that slight fault that leads to inserting a player whose nationality is questioned. That can be a little dangerous. Contrary to other colleagues, I am not so optimistic, honestly. FIFA could have said I do not have jurisdiction or open a file before the Ethics Committee, which handles the processes against individual players. But it was before the Disciplinary Committee, which does provide sanctions against Federations. And that sanction, according to the same Disciplinary Code, is the loss of points or defeats of all the games played by Byron Castillo. That would leave us out of the World Cup,” complement.

Finally, Sosa maintained: “It is not about choosing the evidence, according to the Code it says any means of evidence. And he says that FIFA can discretionally evaluate, with all the burden of proof that Chile may have. Ecuador must not only make a defense under the judicial sentence, it must demonstrate that there is no doubt that it is Ecuadorian, that it resides and behaves like any Ecuadorian, so that there is no doubt that there is no fraudulent act.
