SP prosecutors reject Corinthians appeal, back intervention inquiry | OneFootball

Corinthians had its appeal denied by the Superior Council of the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office, which authorized the progress of the civil inquiry regarding a possible court-ordered intervention in the club.

Still at an early stage, the procedure can now move forward and see its first investigative steps since it was opened, as no action had been taken by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office due to a suspensive effect; it was initially set to be judged on January 27. The information comes from Ge.

The body responsible for judging the matter was the Superior Council of the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office, which oversees prosecutors’ activities.

Going back to the beginning, on February 24 the Council determined that the procedure should be sent back so prosecutors could confirm the validity of the internal assignment of the investigation. With that confirmation, the matter returned for a new judgment, which took place last Tuesday (19).

With the Council’s approval, prosecutors Luiz Ambra and André Pascoal will be able to begin the investigation. During the months in which the inquiry was stalled, prosecutor Cássio Conserino submitted several documents and requests; he was also the one who requested the opening of the procedure so that the need for a court-ordered intervention could be assessed.

During this period, a court case was also opened in which club members requested judicial intervention. The São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office opposed an injunction ordering such a measure, due to the need to hear Corinthians and the existence of the open civil inquiry.

The report explains that if it is understood that judicial intervention is necessary, the Public Prosecutor’s Office must file a public civil action requesting the measure. The courts will decide whether or not to order intervention in the club.
