Gaviões da Fiel react as prosecutors charge Corinthians president | OneFootball

On the night of this Tuesday (15), Gaviões da Fiel, Corinthians’ main organized supporters’ group, issued a statement saying it is closely monitoring the situation involving president Osmar Stabile, who was charged by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-SP) with the alleged crime of embezzlement in an investigation linked to the hiring of Bear Security.

In the statement, the supporters’ group called for strict transparency in respect of due process, while also emphasizing the right to a defense. At the same time, they argued that such accusations cannot be treated with “indifference”. According to the accusation, which Meu Timão had access to, around R$ 721,000 belonging to the club may have been used to pay for personal security services for the official.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office argues that R$ 721,194.66 from the club’s coffers were allocated to Bear Security in 16 payments made between July 2025 and August 2026. The installments allegedly ranged from approximately R$ 33,000 to R$ 65,000. The accusation holds that the contracted services served Stabile’s personal interests and, for that reason, classifies the case as a possible misappropriation of funds belonging to Corinthians.

“As Corinthians’ largest organized supporters’ group, we defend that any and every matter involving the use of the club’s resources must be clarified fully and responsibly. We stress that every person has the right to a full defense and adversarial proceedings. At the same time, we understand that allegations of this nature cannot be treated with indifference, especially at a time when the club is facing challenges on and off the field,” Gaviões said in part of the statement.

To support the complaint, prosecutor Cássio Conserino alleges a series of irregularities after hearings with Leonardo Pantaleão (president of the Ethics Committee), Romeu Tuma Júnior (president of the Deliberative Council), and two other members. Amid these developments, this Saturday (19), the General Assembly for Statute Reform will be held, which Gaviões da Fiel highlighted as an important beginning for changes at the club.

Public Prosecutor’s Office seeks reimbursement and compensation for Corinthians

On the financial side, the complaint requests reimbursement of R$ 721,194.66, an amount corresponding to the resources allegedly taken from Corinthians’ coffers in the episode involving Bear Security. In addition, the Public Prosecutor’s Office seeks compensation of approximately R$ 540,900 for damages caused to the club. Combined, the financial claims come close to R$ 1.26 million.

The MP also requests the continuation of the criminal proceedings, with the summons of Osmar Stabile and the taking of testimony from witnesses related to the investigation. The filing of the complaint opens a new legal front involving Corinthians’ current administration. At this point, the accusations represent the version put forward by the Public Prosecutor’s Office and will still be subject to judicial review, with no conviction or final decision against Osmar Stabile.

GAVIÕES MONITORS PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE COMPLAINT INVOLVING THE CLUB PRESIDENT

Gaviões da Fiel is closely monitoring the complaint filed by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office against Corinthians president Osmar Stabile for alleged embezzlement of club funds, as reported by the press this Tuesday (15).

According to the information released, the Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-SP) argues that amounts paid by Corinthians to the company responsible for security services may have been used to cover personal expenses, a situation that will now be analyzed by the courts. This is a serious accusation, which requires transparency and a rigorous investigation, with respect for due process.

As Corinthians’ largest organized supporters’ group, we defend that any and every matter involving the use of the club’s resources must be clarified fully and responsibly.

We stress that every person has the right to a full defense and adversarial proceedings. At the same time, we understand that allegations of this nature cannot be treated with indifference, especially at a time when the club is facing challenges on and off the field.

Gaviões da Fiel will continue to monitor developments in the case and demand full transparency from the competent authorities and those responsible for Corinthians’ administration.

This Wednesday (16), in the decisive Conmebol Libertadores match, we will be in the stands demanding from the board the explanations that the case requires. Likewise, during the 90 minutes, we will support and encourage our players unconditionally in pursuit of qualification for the semifinals. Corinthians is above any executive, and our commitment will always be to our greatest reason for existing: Corinthians and the team on the field.

Check below president Osmar Stabile’s defense after the complaint was filed by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office:

“Osmar Stabile, through his defense, received with surprise the complaint filed by Prosecutor Cássio Conserino, who tries to turn the hiring of a security team for the exercise of the Presidency of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista into a criminal accusation.

The security was not hired for Osmar as a person, but because of the office.

The threats, which are public knowledge, arose from his role as president, affected his family, and prompted statements of repudiation, including from the São Paulo Football Federation (FPF) and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

The Public Prosecutor’s Office was aware of these facts, just as it knew that providing security for executives occurs at other major clubs and has already been used in previous Corinthians administrations.

In this context, the removal request made by the Public Prosecutor’s Office also causes surprise and will be duly challenged in the case file.

Osmar Stabile remains normally in the EXERCISE OF THE PRESIDENCY, as the request depends on a court decision.

The defense, in turn, trusts the Judiciary and is confident it will be shown that there was no misappropriation whatsoever of the Club’s funds.”
