But someone leaked the internal investigation to the media and some people in Obiena's camp are making things worse, Juico said. According to Juico, the Patafa board just acted on a complaint by Obiena's Ukrainian coach Vitaly Petrov with regards to his alleged non-compensation. Juico stressed that Patafa tried to keep the investigation private, but someone leaked it to the media and the issue has been blown out of proportion. We can always talk, but we have to finish the investigation. As I said, let us finish the investigation so that we will know what are the metes and bounds of our discussions.
