Prosecutor presses Massis, Olten over São Paulo ticket scandal | OneFootball

The São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office sent official letters to directors, advisors, and members of São Paulo, requesting clarifications on allegations of possible irregular ticket sales at Morumbi.

The request is part of a civil inquiry conducted by the Public and Social Heritage Justice Prosecutor's Office of the Capital, which investigates suspicions of reckless management at the club.

Among those notified are President Harry Massis Júnior, his daughter Christina Massis, the President of the Deliberative Council, Olten Ayres de Abreu Júnior, Legal Director Érica Duarte, ESG, Risk, and Compliance Director Roberto Armelin, former advisor Dênis Ormrod, and advisors Vinícius Pinotti and Fábio Mariz de Oliveira, as well as Lucca Borzani, son of a friend of Olten.

All will have 30 days to respond to the prosecutor's office.

Pinotti and Mariz are mentioned in the dispatch due to their connection with the release of an audio that led to investigations into the irregular exploitation of an institutional box at the club.

Olten was cited after a report pointed to possible irregular ticket sales linked to his name, in which Borzani offers entries to the Deliberative Council's box and claims to operate with tickets provided by him.

At a meeting of the Advisory Council last month, after audios leaked in which Christina Massis was allegedly involved in a ticket scheme for shows at Morumbi, members discussed a "new regime in the distribution of tickets."

"The São Paulo Advisory Council met to discuss and deliberate on the creation of a new regime in the distribution of courtesy tickets, with a significant reduction, as well as to investigate, if there have been any, possible incorrect distributions that would be referred to the Ethics Committee, preceded by two inquiries, external and internal," says the text of a note released by the president of the board, former president José Eduardo Mesquita Pimenta.
