The former player and idol of Vasco da Gama, Valdir Bigode, has made an extremely serious allegation that calls into question the integrity of the club's Judicial Recovery (JR) process. In an interview with the channel Fut & Papo, the former striker accused the management of "jumping the queue" of creditors, making payments to people who would be at the end of the list, while he and others have been waiting for years.

Vasco's idol accuses the club of "paying friends"

Valdir, who is also a creditor of the club due to debts from his time as a player, expressed total indignation. He claimed to have documents that prove the irregularity and used strong words to describe the situation. The idol stated:

“I'm here looking at some documents that the guys are paying. Who's at the back of the line and not paying who's at the front? (…) They're picking the nice guy, working, receiving in front of me, younger, working, receiving or paying friends, damn!”.

The accusation becomes even more specific. During the interview, Valdir mentions the creditor number 89 on the list, who would have "jumped the queue". A quick investigation, based on the last list released by Vasco itself, identified creditor number 89 as Felipe Jorge Loureiro, the club's current technical director.

The revelation adds an even more controversial element to the accusation. “The guy from 89 disappeared. There's only a little bit left there to disguise”, said Valdir, insinuating an attempt to hide the information.

Valdir Bigode also reveals that he only wants to be paid for his time as a player and that he has given up the period when he worked at CRVG as a technical assistant.
