Luighi files report after Corinthians v Palmeiras clash, denies settlement | OneFootball

Palmeiras forward Luighi filed a police report for assault after the draw in the derby against Corinthians at Neo Química Arena, in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship.

In the early hours of the morning, Luighi underwent a forensic medical examination, which confirmed an injury to the player’s neck resulting from the slap he received.

The suspect accused of striking the Palmeiras player is Corinthians goalkeeping coach Luiz Fernando dos Santos, who was also taken to Jecrim (Special Criminal Court) to testify.

The authorities present at the stadium proposed a settlement to close the case, through the payment of food baskets by those involved. However, both Luighi and Palmeiras rejected the agreement because they understand that the Academy graduate is the victim in this case.

The case will now go to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which may refer it for investigation or dismiss it.

The altercation

Right after the final whistle of the derby, Palmeiras reported that Luighi had been assaulted while heading to take the anti-doping test. Shortly afterward, Corinthians said that Gabriel Paulista and Breno Bidon had been assaulted by Palmeiras security guards.

What does the match report say?

Referee Flávio Rodrigues de Souza reported a “generalized disturbance” in the match report and said he only became aware of the case in the locker room.

The document signed by the referee mentions “a shove by a member of the Corinthians security staff” against Luighi, but denies any assault on players from either team.
