STJD charges referees, directors and Vitor Roque: see penalties | OneFootball

The Prosecutor's Office of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) has charged the referees, São Paulo officials, and the forward Vitor Roque, as reported by UOL. This action comes after the controversies that occurred in the game between São Paulo and Palmeiras last Sunday.

According to the report, the charges include field and video referees (Ramon Abatti Abel and Ilbert Estevam da Silva), who are alleged to have committed infractions to the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD). The expected punishment is a suspension of 15 to 120 days.

Also mentioned were São Paulo officials Carlos Belmonte and Rui Costa, for insults to the refereeing team. They could be suspended for 15 to 180 days.

Lastly, the forward Vitor Roque, from Palmeiras, was cited by the prosecutor's office for a social media post that was allegedly homophobic. The player's punishment could be a suspension of five to 10 matches.

With the charges filed, the case now moves to one of the STJD's disciplinary committees. The involved parties will be notified and can present a defense. If they are convicted, they may receive suspensions, fines, or other punishments as provided for in the CBJD.
