Gaviões da Fiel again demand Augusto Melo's expulsion, cite Duílio case | OneFootball

Gaviões da Fiel Torcida published, this Wednesday (27), a new official statement in which it once again takes a position on Corinthians’ political backstage. This time, the club’s main organized supporter group directed its criticism at former president Augusto Melo, who will be judged by the Deliberative Council next Monday (June 1).

In the statement, the organized supporter group said it had started a “countdown” to the possible expulsion of Augusto Melo from the club’s membership, comparing the situation to the case of former president Andrés Sanchez, whose expulsion was approved by Corinthians’ Deliberative Council last Monday.

According to Gaviões, the case involving Augusto Melo is related to an “attempted coup in 2025.” The former president had already been removed from office after being impeached, amid allegations involving irregularities in a sponsorship contract, as well as supposed violations of the General Sports Law and the club’s statute.

The supporter group also stressed that it continues to follow the political developments at Parque São Jorge and mentioned former president Duílio Monteiro Alves. According to the statement, the group remains attentive to the next steps related to a possible deliberation on the former director’s expulsion.

In recent days, the political climate at Corinthians has been marked by votes, demonstrations, and internal debates following Andrés Sanchez’s expulsion from the club’s membership. The case increased pressure on other former directors and stirred different political groups linked to the Deliberative Council.

At the end of the statement, Gaviões emphasized that it will remain mobilized and said it is committed to representing “the voice of the Fiel Torcida” in matters related to the club.

Check out the full official statement released by Gaviões da Fiel:

“Just as happened with former president Andrés Sanchez, expelled from Corinthians’ membership, today we begin the countdown to the expulsion of yet another former president who deceived and lied to the faithful supporters: Augusto Melo.

The former Corinthians president will be judged next Monday, June 1, in proceedings related to the attempted coup in 2025. Augusto Melo was previously removed from office after being impeached, motivated by accusations of irregularities in a sponsorship contract, as well as violations of the General Sports Law and the club’s statute.

We once again stress that we are following the next steps regarding the deliberation on the expulsion of Duílio Monteiro Alves. We will remain mobilized and fulfilling our historic role of representing the voice of the Fiel Torcida.”
