The president of the Colombian Football Federation was arrested early Monday morning shortly after the team’s loss to Argentina in the Copa América final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Ramón Jesurún, who also serves as a CONMEBOL vice president and holds a spot on the FIFA council, was arrested with his son around 12:20 a.m. Monday. Jesurún, 71, was accused of fighting multiple security guards alongside his 43-year-old son, Ramón Jamil Jesurún, inside the stadium after the game ended.
According to WPLG, Jesurún and his son “became irate” at a security guard inside a tunnel at the stadium and started “shouting” at him when they weren't allowed to pass through. The incident became physical, and Jesurún pushed the guard, per the report. The younger Jesurún then allegedly grabbed the guard’s neck and punched him. The incident escalated from there as several more security officers got involved.
