Security guard at centre of Stabile and Tuma row at Corinthians | OneFootball

After the argument between Corinthians president Osmar Stabile and the president of the Deliberative Council, Romeu Tuma Jr, during the meeting that was supposed to vote on the proposed statute reform, last Monday (9), both leaders presented their versions of the episode involving a club security professional mentioned in statements to the Civil Police as responsible for removing barriers and allowing unauthorized access to Parque São Jorge on January 20, 2025, the date when Augusto Melo’s impeachment was to be voted on.

Osmar Stabile was the first to address the issue in the plenary, accusing Tuma of exercising “aggressive interference” in management and of allegedly deliberate and false leaks to the press, referring to the report published by UOL about the alleged hiring of Aldair Borges to join the security team at Parque São Jorge, an episode that, according to the outlet, caused a crisis between the board and the president of the Council.

Stabile also told the plenary that he felt coerced by Tuma’s attitude, who, according to the president, had threatened him by saying, “either you do what I want, or I’m going to f… you.” The president then invited the current legal director, Pedro Soares, to take the podium to confirm his version.

In turn, when publicly addressing the case, Tuma stated that he has evidence regarding the hiring of the security guard, which will be presented in detail at the appropriate time, and highlighted that the professional worked at Parque São Jorge last Thursday (5).

“I won’t go into details, because this will be investigated by the police, but I will prove it, because I have proof. The management had hired a security guard who had already been dismissed, the same person who hid the barriers during the impeachment vote in January 2025, when, by the way, some of you, reporters, were assaulted, attacked, and coerced,” Tuma told the press after the session ended.

“That’s why you are inside the club today, so the same thing doesn’t happen. This same employee, former and rehired, went up to the fifth floor on the day of the invasion and came down in the elevator with some of the people who were trying to enter the president’s office. And the current management hired this guy on Thursday,” he continued.

“I said: ‘President, how can you hire a guy who is under police investigation for facilitating the entry of non-members, who assaulted council members, who participated in the invasion of your office, and you hire this person? If you don’t take action, don’t fire the director who hired a guy like this, knowing all the problems, you will suffer, because I will give an interview talking about this. I even said, president: it’s not a threat, I’m telling you I’m going to do this.’”

“Because it’s absurd: four days before a Council meeting, you hire someone who is being investigated by the police for having disappeared with the barriers, precisely a measure that the Military Police had agreed upon with the club, to store the barriers that would be used to cordon off the location. The individual who made the barriers disappear, tied the barriers under the Fazendinha stands, was rehired. Today, the president said my version was a lie, that I coerced him, that the guy was not hired. I will prove that he was and that the person was working here on Friday,” Tuma concluded.

Osmar Stabile also presented his version after the meeting and reaffirmed what he said in the plenary: that he was coerced, pressured, and intimidated by Tuma to make decisions that would exclusively serve the will of the president of the Council.

“I was eating pizza at the pizzeria and he was at another table. Suddenly, an argument broke out between him and a member [Cicatriz], and he walked past my table and said to me: ‘Look, either you do it this way, or do what I want, or, excuse the expression, folks, I’m going to f… you.’ The exact phrase was: I’m going to f… you.’”

““I just looked and thought: did he really say that? And then the person next to me repeated exactly what he said. The witnesses present confirmed that he said exactly that,” said the president.

“I was very hurt by that. On Sunday afternoon, a journalist told me that he was accusing me of having hired the person who hid the barriers during the time of the previous president and that I had hired this person. I replied: ‘Look, I don’t know about that. I’ll check.’ I confirmed and said: ‘There was no hiring of this person here, there’s nothing to hide.’ And then I thought: man, what craziness is this guy doing,” he added.

“This situation left me very embarrassed. I thought: I’ll take advantage of everyone being here and talk about it, because I had told the press and everyone that, if anyone interfered in the management, I would name names. So, the name is Romeu, and the surname is Tuma,” concluded Osmar Stabile, accusing the president of the Council of interference in management.

Romeu Tuma Júnior, in turn, stated that president Osmar Stabile made serious accusations against him and that he expects the president to file a complaint with the Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Deliberative Council so that the case can be clarified.

“The president made serious accusations, I hope he files a complaint with the Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Council so that I can respond and prove that he lied,” he said. The president of the Council added that the case will also be investigated by the police, who have already recorded a police report when he was threatened by the member at the pizzeria, and that Stabile will have to prove his statements.

According to Meu Timão, Stabile’s allies are already preparing a complaint to be sent to Leonardo Pantaleão, vice-president of the Deliberative Council and president of the Ethics Committee, against Romeu Tuma Júnior.
