News summary

Charges against Ramón Jesurún Sr., president of the Colombian Football Federation, were dropped following a confrontation at the Copa America final where he and his son were arrested for allegedly attacking security guards. Prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence to pursue charges against Jesurún Sr., as video footage showed no physical contact on his part, and a key security guard withdrew their complaint. In contrast, Ramón Jesurún Jr. still faces multiple charges, including aggravated battery, for allegedly assaulting a guard during the incident that occurred after Argentina's victory over Colombia on July 14. Reports indicate that Jesurún Jr. became aggressive after being denied access to the field, reportedly kicking a guard in the head while he was down. The incident was part of a larger chaotic scene where numerous un-ticketed fans breached security at the Hard Rock Stadium. Jesurún Sr. expressed his distress over the incident, stating, 'You’re ending my career in soccer,' as he was being handcuffed.
