Recours devant le TAS : Juan Branco affiche son amertume et se fait reprendre de volée par des internautes sénégalais
At a press conference held yesterday in Paris following the filing of the appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) unveiled the list of lawyers selected to defend the case. However, Juan Branco, who had publicly offered his services to the FSF but was not chosen, complained about the inclusion of Olivier Sur, the lawyer for Mame Mbaye Niang and Macky Sall. Aurores, an account supporting Branco, also criticized Seydou Diagne.
"I am astonished that the Senegalese Federation chose the same lawyer who represented Mame Mbaye Niang and Macky Sall to render Ousmane Sonko ineligible. This procedure generated a historic political crisis and led to the deaths of more than sixty Senegalese citizens, as well as injuries, arbitrary detention, torture, and suffering thousands of others (...) People have memories, and their dead deserve to be respected." This is how Juan Branco reacted to the composition of the FSF's lawyers and the presence of Olivier Sûr.
But this post by the lawyer did not sit well with the majority of Senegalese. On social media, Juan Branco was sharply criticized. "Tell Branco to go f*** himself. From the beginning of this affair, he wanted to be in charge of this case, even going so far as to hide behind the account 'Les Aurores' to say: 'The Federation of Senegal is represented by Maître Seydou Diagne, implicated in the Epstein case.' Now, he has the audacity to reveal himself to attack Maître Sur. Does Branco think Senegal owes him something or what?"
"He can go fuck himself!", wrote journalist Malang Sané.
He wasn't the only one to react vehemently to Juan Branco's statement. Several other Senegalese responded directly to the comments on the lawyer's post to express their disagreement.
