Duilio Monteiro Alves quits Corinthians membership amid probe | OneFootball

Duilio Monteiro Alves has resigned his lifetime membership and stepped down from Corinthians’ councils, announcing the decision in an open letter on social media. According to Globo.com, the move severs his formal ties to the members’ roll at Parque São Jorge.

Club president from 2021 to 2023, Duilio relinquished the título de sócio remido, and gave up roles as conselheiro vitalício and member of the Conselho de Orientação, CORI.

He had been under internal investigation over use of a corporate card, and the resignation avoids a judgment that could have led to expulsion. It comes days after Andrés Sanchez was expelled in a vote at Parque São Jorge on Monday for misuse of club money on personal expenses.

Duilio remains under investigation by the Ministério Público de São Paulo. In March 2026 he became a defendant for alleged apropriação indébita after the São Paulo courts accepted a complaint from prosecutors.

Prosecutor Cássio Conserino says club funds covered spending in free shops, restaurants, hotels, a hair salon, a nautical store, a clothing website and other outlets unrelated to Corinthians. The purchases totalled R$ 41,822.62, adjusted for inflation.

In his letter, Duilio criticised a political war he said has made the club ungovernable, argued routine practices were criminalised, and claimed his corporate card use averaged under R$ 35 per day for institutional purposes. He said his accounts were approved, vowed to defend himself in court, and confirmed his definitive exit from the association.
