Porto general meeting goes ahead with no police presence and secret ballot | OneFootball

The General Assembly of FC Porto will take place this Saturday at the Dragão Arena, starting at 09:00, and includes six items on the agenda: voting on the report and accounts for the 2024/25 fiscal year; consideration of appeals submitted by Vítor Oliveira ‘Aleixo’, Vítor Silva ‘Catão’, Sandra Madureira, and Fernando Madureira, all targeted by Operation Pretoriano and expelled by the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council; and the discussion of other matters of interest to the Porto community.

Regarding the voting on the appeals, there is an exception: Fernando Madureira. The former leader of the Super Dragões supporters group is serving an effective sentence of three years and nine months and, for this reason, will not be able to attend the GA this Saturday, so Macaco's appeal will be excluded from voting.

The other members sanctioned with expulsion will be able to exercise their right to defense at the grand meeting and, according to A BOLA, they will have the possibility of receiving legal assistance during the session, if they wish. If the appeals are rejected in the vote, Vítor ‘Aleixo’, Vítor ‘Catão’, and Sandra Madureira may take legal action.

Regarding the voting, members will be able to vote secretly, to avoid (even more) heightened emotions in a GA that is expected to be heated. Nevertheless, the Board of the General Assembly of FC Porto trusts in the civility of the members and, according to information gathered by our newspaper, has not requested additional police presence for the meeting.

It should be noted that the accreditation of members for exercising their right to vote closes at 19:00, although those already in line at that time will be allowed to vote, despite the FC Porto-Sintrense game at the Estádio do Dragão being scheduled to kick off at 20:15. The voting on the appeals will only begin after the interventions of those involved.

Item 1: Review, discussion, and voting on the Integrated Annual Report, which includes the Individual Accounts and Consolidated Accounts, and the respective Opinion of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council and Opinion of the Superior Council, concerning the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025; Item 2: Deliberate on the appeal submitted against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council that applied the expulsion penalty to member Vítor Manuel Oliveira; Item 3: Deliberate on the appeal submitted against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council that applied the expulsion penalty to member Vítor Manuel de Oliveira Monteiro da Silva; Item 4: Deliberate on the appeal submitted against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council that applied the expulsion penalty to member Sandra Manuela Bessa do Vale Madureira; Item 5: Deliberate on the appeal submitted against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council that applied the expulsion penalty to member Fernando Augusto da Silva Monteiro Madureira; Item 6: A half-hour period for the presentation, without voting, of matters of interest to the Club.
