El Presidente S01e02 Tv ((free)) Review
Julián confronts Jadue afterward, furious. He explains the “Judas goat” concept: in slaughterhouses, a goat is trained to lead sheep to the killing chute, expecting food at the other end. But the goat is never killed – it’s used repeatedly to betray others. Leoz is using Jadue as the Judas goat for the other presidents. The moment Jadue accepts money, he becomes an accomplice – and a liability. Julián warns: “The moment you stop being useful, they will kill you. But not with a gun – with the FBI.” (Prophetic, as the real FBI sting would come years later.)

It tells the true story of the 2015 FIFA corruption scandal, focusing on the unlikely figure at its center: Sergio Jadue , the humble, seemingly bumbling president of the Chilean Football Federation (ANFP).
