Vasco punished: security body calls for tough action against fans | OneFootball

The Special Battalion for Stadium Policing (BEPE) has requested the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rio de Janeiro to impose a penalty on Força Jovem, one of the main organized supporter groups of Vasco da Gama. According to a document signed by the battalion commander, the requested penalty is a 30-day ban from stadiums, in addition to a suspension for two away games at Nilton Santos Stadium.

Actions during the Botafogo vs. Vasco classic motivated the request

BEPE's justification for the penalty request is based on events from the classic against Botafogo on September 11. The document cites a “generalized brawl inside and outside” the stadium.

Additionally, the document mentions an alleged “attempted invasion by fans without tickets in the visitor section” of Nilton Santos Stadium.

Document also mentions other organized groups

The same BEPE document, signed by Lieutenant Colonel Sandro Aguiar dos Santos, also requests penalties for other organized supporter groups in Rio de Janeiro. Among them, the Torcida Jovem do Flamengo, for “having been arrested in the Grajaú neighborhood, 06 (six) individuals carrying various objects intended for violent acts“.

The request will now be reviewed by the Public Prosecutor's Office, which will decide whether to accept the suspension request. If confirmed, the measure would represent a significant blow to the support from the stands in the final stretch of the season.
