Vítor Aleixo and Vítor Catão officially expelled as FC Porto members | OneFootball

The exclusion of Vítor Aleixo (father) and Vítor Catão (son) from the list of FC Porto members was confirmed after both failed to attend the General Assembly this Saturday, where their appeal against the decision of the Fiscal and Disciplinary Council was to be considered.

Since they were not present, they could not present a defense; points 2 and 3 – corresponding to their appeals – were removed from the vote and the expulsions proceed. The only way to challenge the decision now is through legal means, that is, through the courts.

Regarding Fernando Madureira, former leader of the Super Dragões, he was not present – he is imprisoned after being sentenced in July to three years and nine months in prison – so his appeal was neither considered nor voted on by the members.

His wife, Sandra Madureira, was the only one present and presented her defense for 20 minutes, appealing to the members' sentiments and uttering the memorable phrase: «I only have two certainties: that I will die and that I will die a Porto fan.»

The result of the members' vote will only be known after 19:00, when the voting closes.
