Corinthians fans stage protests across Brazil, seek court action | OneFootball

Throughout the night last Tuesday (1), at 7:10 p.m. Brasília time, the day Corinthians celebrated its 116th anniversary, Corinthians supporters organized a nationwide mobilization staging protests calling for judicial intervention in the club. The mass actions are taking place at a time when the club is seeing its financial situation gradually worsen, amid allegations involving both the current and former administrations of the institution.

During the protests, Corinthians supporters spread banners with the message “#IntervençãoFiel” at several tourist landmarks and cities across Brazil. At this moment, it is worth remembering, the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-SP) is conducting an inquiry that is evaluating precisely the possibility of judicial intervention in the club, given the administrative problems involving Timão.

The mobilization also aimed to strengthen the petition supporting judicial intervention in Corinthians. According to the movement, it has already surpassed 25,000 signatures and can be followed through the website https://intervencaofiel.com.br/. The action has the support of the Projeto Time do Povo movement.

Through social media, those responsible for organizing the movement argue that the institutional moment Corinthians is going through prevents a full celebration of its 116 years of history. The group also argues that the supporters’ reaction symbolizes dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency, allegations, and financial problems, in addition to the idea that “without intervention, there is no solution.”

The movement says it does not accept directors who place their personal interests above those of the institution, while also seeking to pressure the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Judiciary to take measures in light of the critical situation. The measures include the removal of the current board and the appointment of auditors to try to stem the club’s financial crisis.

See below the regions where the protests took place:

● North: Fiel Macapá (AP) and Fiel Manaus (AM).● Northeast: Fiel Conquista, Fiel Cacau, Fiel Feira, Fiel Texas, Fiel Porto Seguro, and Fiel Vale (BA); Fiel Cariri Ceará and Fiel CE (CE); Fiel João Pessoa (PB); Fiel Recife (PE); and Fiel Natal (RN).● Central-West: Fiel Goiânia (GO) and Fiel Dourados (MS).● Southeast: Supporters from Belo Horizonte (MG).● South: Fiel Astorga, Fiel Maringá, and Fiel CP (PR).
