Gaviões da Fiel back MP-SP call to remove former Corinthians presidents | OneFootball

On the morning of Wednesday, the 3rd, Gaviões da Fiel, the largest organized supporters group of Corinthians, published a statement on their social media expressing support for the precautionary action proposed by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office (MP-SP), which requested that the court order the temporary removal of former presidents Andrés Sanchez, Duilio Monteiro Alves, and Augusto Melo from any positions on the club's boards.

In the statement, the supporters group points out that the removals are important to “ensure transparency and integrity” in the investigations, highlighting that the initial inquiries indicate irregular use of the club’s corporate cards in more than 170 purchases, totaling R$ 86,000 in personal expenses unrelated to club activities.

For the Gaviões, the evidence of crimes, combined with facts such as the disappearance of financial documents, which hinders the full investigation of the facts, are factors that justify the MP-SP’s request, so that the former presidents do not use their influential positions to “threaten the investigations,” since they still hold voting power and political influence in the club.

The statement also requests that Corinthians comply with the MP-SP’s recommendation to deliver all required documents, as well as to deliberate on the immediate removal of the former directors. It concludes by stating that the group will remain mobilized around the issue, arguing that exemplary punishment would begin “a new era at Corinthians, free from those who benefit from our history.”

The MP-SP investigation began on July 29, aiming to investigate possible practices of “aggravated embezzlement, qualified theft by a group of agents and abuse of trust and/or fraud, ideological falsehood, criminal association, and, at a later investigative stage, alleged money laundering” during the last three administrations of Corinthians.
