Corinthians seek inquiry into Duilio’s brother, see details | OneFootball

By Tiago Salazar

Corinthians requested, this Monday, the opening of an investigation against Adriano Monteiro Alves, brother of former president Duilio Monteiro Alves, for attempted fraud and structured fraud through the improper use of the club's name, brand, and structure. The club’s board submitted the request this Monday to the 52nd Police District of São Paulo.

In the document sent to the police, the club alleges that Adriano Monteiro Alves negotiated contracts without the board’s approval. Timão believes that he took advantage of his relationship with Duílio and his position as a member of the Marketing Committee of the Deliberative Council to broker deals, improperly using the name and brand of Corinthians.

The complaint from the top management of Corinthians is that Adriano Monteiro Alves allegedly arranged an exclusivity agreement for 36 months with Plug Financeira, aiming for the integration of the payment system into the digital ecosystem of products and services offered in the Universo SCCP app, as well as all systems involved in contracts operated by Liga Tech, which runs the Fiel Torcedor system.

The agreement between the parties would be definitively sealed upon the advance payment of R$ 750,000. The amount, however, was to be paid to the company Ervas da Amazônia LTDA., registered in the name of Aldilene Francisca de Moraes. In the complaint, Corinthians alleges that Adriano Monteiro Alves met with representatives of Plug Financeira at the lawyer’s office.

The board decided to request the opening of the investigation based on a recent episode that allegedly took place at Parque São Jorge. A representative of Plug Financeira reportedly went to the club’s social headquarters and sought out president Osmar Stabile to finalize the deal brokered by Adriano Monteiro Alves. In light of this, the top management decided to contact the authorities to investigate the case.

The information was initially reported by ge and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

What does Adriano Monteiro Alves say?

The report contacted Adriano Monteiro Alves, who responded via an official statement. Duilio’s brother denied the accusations and called Osmar Stabile’s board a “coup” amid the administrative turmoil surrounding Parque São Jorge. The statement refers to an extraordinary meeting, unilaterally scheduled by the president, to vote on the provisional removal of Romeu Tuma Júnior, president of the Deliberative Council.

Adriano Monteiro Alves also emphasized that he will take all appropriate measures against those who accused him. See below the statement sent to Gazeta Esportiva:

“I regret and repudiate the dissemination of accusations without any basis, which end up diverting attention from what really matters to the club at this moment, amid movements that affront the Statute and highlight an attempted coup.

In light of this, I will take all appropriate civil and criminal measures against those responsible, to the fullest extent, in defense of my honor and reputation.

Adriano Monteiro Alves“.
