The Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) assured this Thursday to Twitter which issued warrants for the arrest of five people, including other officials and a key keeper, for the possible crimes of “culpable homicide, culpable injury and public havoc”.

The FGR pointed out that by selling the tickets for the match at the Cuscatlán stadium between Alianza FC and CD Fas, the organizers “decided to illegally sell the tickets issued for the previous matches”.

Finally, they indicated that those captured will be brought before the courts “in the coming days”.

CNN is trying to find out if Hernández and others investigated have legal representation and has contacted club Alianza FC for comment.
