The ‘Cartel del Gol’, as the site responsible for the report calls it, has been in the MX League for over 10 years
Amir Ibrahim, director of ElQuintanaRoo.mx, unveiled a new and alleged corruption network that is predominant in many of the transfers taking place in Liga MX and it boasted, in the past, a significant portfolio of player coaches and realtors still active in Mexican football, including coaches such as Guillermo Vázquez and Miguel Herrera.
According to journalist Amir Ibrahim, the alleged organization had a structure consisting of “promoters, name men, front companies, technical directors and managers” who made large sums of money by selling players at “inflated prices” and “evasion”. of taxes’, a complaint that the journalist files with documents supporting the information.
Amir Ibrahim’s information entitled: The ‘Gol Cartel’, as the site responsible for the report calls it, has been part of Liga MX for over 10 years so he has managed to “have almost absolute control over the hiring of players,” in the case of promoter Greg Taylor.
The leaders of this network, Ibrahim accuses, are said to be Taylor herself, owner of the company Promanage; Manuel Velarde, Partner and Agent of Promanage (current partner and owner of the Gallos Blancos de Querétaro), and then Jorge Espinosa, Taylor’s former lawyer and self-employed, away from Taylor.
The note also indicates that Mario Hernández Lash, a former player who served as Necaxa’s sports director between 2017 and 2019, would be Greg’s new namesake as Taylor is also part of the owners of the Gallos Blancos.
In the portfolio of technicians the journalist assures, Taylor’s team at the time boasted the names of Miguel Herrera, who was fired from América a few weeks ago, and Antonio Mohamed, who also lost his job at the head of Monterrey, stand out in e- mails.
He The rest of the coaches that Amir is allegedly accusing and represented by this organization are Guillermo Vázquez, José Manuel ‘Chepo’ de la Torre, Francisco Palencia, Héctor Hugo Eugui and Benjamín Galindo., who would have been the link with Carlos Hurtado, who has been chosen because he is responsible for many negotiations in Aztec football.
One of the cases illustrating how the leaders of this structure would work is the transfer of Ecuadorian footballer Joffre Guerrón to Tigres in 2014 from Beijing Sinobo Guoan. For example, the striker was bought from the Chinese club for $ 2.9 million and sold to the cat group for $ 4.2 million, for which they would have earned a $ 1.2 million commission.
On the other hand, it is interesting to note that Gustavo Matosas, two-time champion at León, was part of this alleged network along with promoter Fernando Pavón; However, both are said to have been refused by Greg Taylor. That topic was also touched on by the same journalist last year.
Matosas returned to Liga MX in 2019 to direct Atlético de San Luis, but left the institution after Ibrahim revealed an audio in which the strategist talks to Pavón about how much money they would get for Matías Britos’ arrival.
Amir Ibrahim claims to be in possession of an “evidence package” and highlights “WhatsApp, BlackBerry PIN conversations, hundreds of emails, private contracts between promoters and players, multimillion dollar bank transactions, bills, avoidance strategies, audio recordings and videos to showcase the dirty deals of Greg Taylor and his allies.
