Porto’s general meeting: no police, secret ballot | OneFootball

The FC Porto General Assembly will take place this Saturday at 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 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 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 gathered by A BOLA, will have the possibility of receiving legal assistance during the session, should they wish. If the appeals are rejected in the vote, Vítor ‘Aleixo’, Vítor ‘Catão’, and Sandra Madureira may appeal to the courts.

As for the voting, 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. Nevertheless, the FC Porto General Assembly Board trusts in the civility of its members and, according to information obtained by our newspaper, has not requested additional police presence for the meeting.

It should be noted that accreditation of members to exercise their voting rights closes at 19:00; however, those who are 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. Voting on the appeals will only begin after the interventions 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 between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025; Item 2: Deliberation 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: Deliberation 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: Deliberation 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: Deliberation 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.
