Julio’s harem? Another Casares ex urges resignation at São Paulo | OneFootball

Little by little, São Paulo fans are discovering that the club has turned into a real ‘annex’ for president Julio Casares, who has placed relatives, his ex-wife, and ex-girlfriend inside the organization.

Back in December 2025, Mara Casares, ex-wife of Julio Casares and former cultural and events director of the club, took a leave of absence from her position on the Deliberative Council after her audio recordings were leaked in the ‘Camarote Scandal’, involving the clandestine sale of tickets for concerts in the Morumbi boxes.

And this Thursday (8), Jacqueline Meirelles, Casares’ ex-girlfriend, resigned from her unpaid position in São Paulo’s Welfare Department (DASP).

Jacqueline, who was Miss Brazil in 1987, stated that she made the decision to step down ‘in light of the recently published news involving president Julio Casares, with which I do not agree and which I clearly and responsibly repudiate’.

“Given the facts that have come to light, I understood that, out of principle and personal conviction, I could not continue to hold a position linked to the Presidency. For this reason, I sent my resignation letter to the president,” Meirelles announced in an official statement.

Read Jacqueline Meirelles’ full statement below:

Out of respect for the people with whom I share this political and social space and for my own journey at São Paulo Futebol Clube, I would like to announce that I have decided to resign from my position in the DASP.

This decision was made in light of the recently published news involving president Julio Casares, with which I do not agree and which I clearly and responsibly repudiate.

Leading a department directly linked to the Presidency has always required from me coherence, ethics, and institutional commitment. Throughout my time at the head of DASP, I gave my best, acted with seriousness and dedication, and contributed to the department gaining relevance, credibility, and respect both inside and outside the Club.

However, given the facts that have come to light, I understood that, out of principle and personal conviction, I could not continue to hold a position linked to the Presidency. For this reason, I sent my resignation letter to the president, formalizing my departure from the activities entrusted to me.
