Flamengo adviser flags procedural irregularities in Libra | OneFootball

Marcelo Campos Pinto accused of incomplete formula, advance payments, and illegal alteration of agenda in assembly

The consultant for Flamengo in Libra, Marcelo Campos Pinto, debunked the label of selfishness that the Rubro-Negro carries in the controversy over the broadcasting revenue of the Brasileirão. The lawyer accused the entity, this Friday (10), of committing serious procedural irregularities.

— The Libra statute provides that 30% of the fixed revenue should be distributed according to audience, but the formula to calculate it is incomplete — pointed out Pinto during his participation in Mengocast, on the Flamengo channel on YouTube, adding that:

— Libra requires the weighting of audience percentages with the amount paid by each media platform, information that is not specified in the contract with Globo. The entity, therefore, did not have a clear and applicable rule — highlighted the consultant.

Advance and illegal payments?

Pinto explains that Libra, through Matus Projects, authorized Globo to make payments related to this audience revenue. The entity’s approval happened before any deliberation by the club assembly, which was suspended.

— In other words, they determined the payment using one of the scenarios, as if it were an approved decision, when in reality the assembly had not yet voted. The payment proposal was on August 25, also going against a decision that did not exist in the assembly — denounced the consultant.

What did Libra do with Flamengo next?

— When the assembly resumed on August 26, Libra improperly altered the agenda item. The original item was to choose a criterion to complement the formula. The new item proposed voting on a ‘proposal from Flamengo to amend the statute’, completely changing the focus and nature of the discussion, which is prohibited by law — accused Pinto.

What is the context between Flamengo and Libra?

All of Pinto’s accusations form the context of the dispute between Flamengo and Libra, which began a long time ago. The Rubro-Negro noticed the injustice of receiving the same as smaller clubs and expressed interest in changing the statute.

The other clubs, however, did not want to hear Flamengo’s proposal. So, the team led by Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, took appropriate legal action. Thus, the Most Beloved obtained an injunction that blocked R$ 77 million.

The amount is a transfer from Globo to the clubs, who were outraged with the Most Beloved. Thus, accusations arose that Flamengo wanted to play alone, that the Rubro-Negro only thought of itself, and that it spread lies.
