Porto’s AGM held with secret ballot, no police present | OneFootball

The FC Porto General Assembly will take place this Saturday at the Dragão Arena, starting at 09:00, and includes six items on the agenda: voting on the report and accounts for the 2024/25 fiscal year; consideration of the appeals submitted by Vítor Oliveira ‘Aleixo’, Vítor Silva ‘Catão’, Sandra Madureira, and Fernando Madureira, all targeted by Operation Pretoriano and expelled by the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council; and the discussion of other matters of interest to the FC Porto community.

Regarding the voting on the appeals, there is one exception: Fernando Madureira. The former leader of the Super Dragões supporters group is serving an effective sentence of three years and nine months and, for this reason, will not be able to attend this Saturday’s General Assembly, so Macaco’s appeal will not be put to a vote.

The other members sanctioned with expulsion will be able to exercise their right to defense at the meeting and, according to information obtained by A BOLA, will have the possibility of receiving legal assistance during the session, should they so wish. If the appeals are rejected in the vote, Vítor ‘Aleixo’, Vítor ‘Catão’, and Sandra Madureira may take the matter to court.

As for the voting process, members will be able to vote by secret ballot, to avoid (even more) heightened tensions at a General Assembly that is expected to be heated. Even so, the FC Porto General Assembly Board trusts in the civility of its members and, according to information gathered by our newspaper, did not request additional police presence for the meeting.

It should be noted that accreditation of members for the exercise of voting rights closes at 19:00; however, those already in line at that time will still be allowed to vote, even though the FC Porto-Sintrense match at Estádio do Dragão is scheduled to kick off at 20:15. The voting on the appeals will only begin after the statements of those involved.

Item 1: Review, discussion, and voting on the Integrated Annual Report, which includes the Individual Accounts and Consolidated Accounts, and the respective Opinions of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council and the Superior Council, for the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025; Item 2: Decision on the appeal submitted against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council that imposed the penalty of expulsion on member Vítor Manuel Oliveira; Item 3: Decision on the appeal submitted against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council that imposed the penalty of expulsion on member Vítor Manuel de Oliveira Monteiro da Silva; Item 4: Decision on the appeal submitted against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council that imposed the penalty of expulsion on member Sandra Manuela Bessa do Vale Madureira; Item 5: Decision on the appeal submitted against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council that imposed the penalty of expulsion on member Fernando Augusto da Silva Monteiro Madureira; Item 6: A half-hour period for the presentation, without voting, of matters of interest to the Club.
