STJD clears Flamengo after fan clash against Vasco in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Why did the STJD acquit Flamengo this Thursday (14)?

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) acquitted Flamengo over the clash between fans and police after the match against Vasco at the Maracanã. The trial took place this Thursday (14), in Rio de Janeiro.

The Third Disciplinary Commission understood that Flamengo is not responsible for conflicts that occur beyond the Maracanã gates. Since the disturbance happened outside the stadium, the STJD decided to acquit the Rubro-Negro.

What did the rapporteur in Flamengo’s case say?

“This court does not have jurisdiction to exercise general police power over public roads, transport stations, urban routes, or conflicts that, although temporally associated with the match, fall primarily under public security and criminal law. If we are not allowed to take such a position, neither can the club be required to do so,” said the rapporteur in the case, auditor Pedro Gonet.

Could Flamengo have lost home-field advantage?

Yes! That is because Flamengo was charged under Article 213 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD). In this case, the rule provides for punishment for those who fail to prevent or suppress disorder at a sports venue.

In addition, Flamengo, which could have lost home-field advantage, also faced the possibility of receiving a fine of R$ 100,000. However, the STJD acquitted the Most Beloved, which will not have to worry about any punishment.
