Vasco da Gama's judicial reorganization process has gained a new heavyweight creditor behind the scenes of Rio de Janeiro’s courts. Publisher Panini Brasil, world-famous for publishing the traditional soccer sticker albums, has called on its legal representatives to file a lawsuit against the Rio club. According to information published by Blog do Ancelmo, in the newspaper O Globo, the company and the law firm representing it formally filed a credit claim in the case that centralizes Vasco’s debts.

The multinational and its attorneys claim they have the legal right to receive the exact amount of R$ 727,034.56 from the club association. This amount has already been duly recognized through a previous court ruling and was officially certified so it could be formally included in the general repayment list of the reorganization. The written request was submitted directly to the judges of the 4th Business Court of Rio, the body responsible for managing Cruz-Maltino’s economic recovery plan.

Lack of details about Vasco’s debt case

Despite the bureaucratic progress of the claim at São Januário, the documents attached to the request do not clearly indicate what gave rise to this financial liability. The mystery surrounding the reason for the debt raises questions among board members, but the fact is that the amount will have to be paid according to the deadlines and discounts set out in the payment plan approved by Vasco's creditors.

The arrival of yet another official claim comes at an extremely delicate institutional moment at the Historic Hill, heightening management’s concerns. The delay in signing the draft contracts for the sale of Vasco SAF to the Marcos Lamacchia group is preventing the club from receiving immediate cash injections, forcing president Pedrinho to manage these old civil liabilities with limited revenue from daily cash flow.
