Ethics Committee asks Osmar Stabile to clarify Corinthians claim | OneFootball

The president of the Ethics and Discipline Committee of Corinthians’ Deliberative Council, Leonardo Pantaleão, sent a formal letter this Tuesday (16) to club president Osmar Stabile, requesting formal clarification بشأن a public statement attributed to the chairman involving council members’ relationship with contracts signed by the club.

Central do Timão obtained the document, issued after statements were sent to the Committee by members and Deliberative Council members who questioned the scope and basis of the phrase attributed to Stabile. According to the order, while addressing issues related to Corinthians’ governance and institutional dynamics, the president allegedly stated that “each council member has a contract under their arm,” a remark that raised doubts and sparked repercussions among club members and fans.

In the Ethics Committee’s assessment, the breadth of the expression used raised questions about the possible existence of contractual ties maintained by council members with the club, directly or indirectly, as well as about possible effects of these relationships on the exercise of their statutory duties. In light of this, Pantaleão says the clarifications are necessary to ensure a proper understanding of the facts and preserve institutional security in relations between Corinthians’ bodies.

In the letter, the Committee asks Stabile to detail the context in which the statement was made, explain the meaning of the expression used, and say whether the remark referred to concrete situations or was merely generic in nature. It also requests clarification on the elements that would have supported the statement, if it was based on specific facts.

The order goes further and sets out a series of questions related to the possible existence of contracts involving council members. If the statement referred to contractual relationships that do in fact exist, the Committee requests that the council members involved be identified, as well as the related individuals or legal entities, the contracts or legal instruments mentioned, their respective purposes, terms, and financial amounts. It also seeks information on whether the ties are current or past and whether the president believes there are situations of potential conflict of interest within the club.

The Ethics Committee stresses, however, that opening the matter does not represent any prior judgment of the facts. According to the document, the measure is exclusively informational in nature and seeks to gather elements that will allow a proper understanding of the public statement and its possible institutional repercussions for Corinthians.

At the end of the order, Leonardo Pantaleão instructs Osmar Stabile to submit the requested clarifications within five days from receipt of the notification.

President Osmar Stabile is also the target of two impeachment requests at Corinthians. The first of them has already been accepted and sent to the Ethics Committee, which granted a deadline for the president to present documents related to the case. Central do Timão has learned that the chairman submitted the requested material last Saturday (13), and the documentation is currently being analyzed by the members of the body.
