  • Deportes Santa Cruz president Alex Orellana said a case could be opened against Deportes Puerto Montt over alleged regulatory violations.
  • Orellana called the potential case more serious than the allegations involving San Marcos de Arica.
  • Santa Cruz said it would support a possible complaint, after previously backing an unsuccessful investigation proposal involving clubs in the division.

The promotion fight in Chile’s Ascenso division could face another off-field upheaval. Alex Orellana, president of Deportes Santa Cruz, warned that Deportes Puerto Montt may face a complaint over alleged regulatory breaches.

Speaking to Éxodo Deportes, Orellana said the issue could prove more serious than the case involving San Marcos de Arica, which the Chilean football association, ANFP, recently referred over alleged irregularities in its financial statements.

“Another issue is coming, because there is also another club that is committing a breach and we want it reviewed. I think it is more serious than the San Marcos case,” Orellana said.

Santa Cruz, currently second from bottom of the table, would support a potential complaint against the southern club. Orellana said the club could not act inconsistently with its position last year, when it backed Santiago Morning after that team proposed investigating several clubs in the division. That earlier effort ultimately failed to move forward.

Another issue is coming, because there is also another club that is committing a breach and we want it reviewed. I think it is more serious than the San Marcos case.
