Kaio César was charged by the STJD Prosecutor’s Office due to the scuffle recorded after the end of the first half of the 1-1 draw between Corinthians and Bahia, played last Sunday in the 20th round of the national competition.

The player will answer under Article 250 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which deals with committing a disloyal or hostile act during a match. The expected punishment ranges from a one- to three-match suspension.

The incident happened after referee Ramon Abatti Abel blew the whistle to end the first half. After challenging for the ball with Zé Guilherme, Kaio César became involved in a clash with Bahia forward Alejo Véliz, triggering the start of a scuffle among players and members of both teams’ coaching staffs.

In the complaint, prosecutor Marcos Souto Maior pointed to the Corinthians forward as responsible for starting the commotion by moving toward the opponent after the halftime whistle. Even so, the player was not charged with physical aggression, since, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, the footage did not conclusively prove the existence of a blow that would characterize violent conduct.

In addition to Kaio César, Corinthians and Bahia were also charged under Article 257 of the CBJD, which deals with participation in a fight, conflict, or disturbance during a match. The clubs may be punished with a fine of up to R$ 20,000.

Referee Ramon Abatti Abel will also answer before the STJD. The Prosecutor’s Office understood that the referee failed to record in the match report the scuffle that took place after the end of the first half, which is why he was charged under Article 266 of the CBJD, concerning omission or improper reporting of disciplinary incidents.
