Corinthians board begins hearings to investigate data leak | OneFootball

The Corinthians Deliberative Council has taken a new step in the investigation process regarding the leak of strategic information involving the club’s commercial negotiations. According to findings by Central do Timão, the Council’s Justice and Ethics Committees have been summoned to begin hearings this Wednesday (18).

The first to be heard will be the technology director Marcelo Munhoes, who was responsible for formally filing an internal complaint about the improper disclosure of confidential data. As reported, Munhoes informed the club’s presidency, legal department, compliance, and DPO (Data Protection Officer) about the incident and requested immediate measures, such as preservation of records, analysis of functional responsibilities, and possible referral to the relevant authorities.

The measure was taken after reports published by the portal ge.globo last week detailed proposals from the companies Ticketmaster and Ingresse to manage ticket sales operations and the Fiel Torcedor Program. According to the technology director, the information disclosed was still restricted to the club’s internal environment, including Ticketmaster’s withdrawal of its proposal, which he only learned about through the press.

The procedure conducted by the Deliberative Council seeks to objectively clarify the origin of the leak, assess the veracity of the information made public, and determine whether there was a breach of confidentiality duties or non-compliance with internal protocols. In addition to identifying those responsible, the investigation may result in disciplinary or functional measures, according to the club’s bylaws.

Besides Munhoes, the committees may hear other executives, such as Herói Vicente (Director of Expansion, Innovation, and New Business), Vinícius Manfredi de Azevedo (Superintendent of Marketing), Ricardo Okabe (Operations Manager at Neo Química Arena), and André Lavieri (Financial Manager), as well as employees from their respective departments.

The expectation is that the Justice and Ethics Committees will collect documents, analyze internal records, and conduct hearings with those involved in the coming days. So far, the Corinthians board has not officially commented on the case. The Deliberative Council stated that further clarifications will be released in due course, once the hearings and analyses are concluded.
