After getting approval, São Paulo send papers to prosecutors | OneFootball

On the night of this Monday (6), after obtaining authorization from Live Nation, São Paulo sent the Public Prosecutor’s Office the club’s contract with the event promoter. As the agreement between the parties includes a confidentiality clause, Tricolor needed validation from its business partner to forward the documentation to the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office.

The investigation began after the leak of an audio recording made by Rita de Cássia Adriana Prado, an intermediary in the case involving the stadium’s luxury boxes. In the material that became public, Mara Casares and Douglas Schwartzmann, former São Paulo directors, talk about renting a premium space at Shakira’s concert, held in February of last year.

In the leaked audio, the executives describe the luxury box as clandestine and irregular. From that point on, the Civil Police deepened the investigation with the aim of looking into a possible improper transfer of premium spaces at the stadium for at least the last three years.

There are also two other criminal investigations involving São Paulo’s previous administration. The first is looking into possible cash withdrawals from the club’s coffers and possible payments received by former president Julio Casares, while the second investigates suspicions of corruption in deals carried out by the social club.

Recall the luxury box case

Audio recordings between Douglas Schwartzmann, São Paulo’s deputy youth director, and Mara Casares, ex-wife of president Julio Casares and cultural and events director, revealed an illegal scheme to sell a luxury box for shows held at Morumbis. After the case was leaked, Schwartzmann and Mara took leave from their positions.

In the recording, Schwartzmann admits that he, Mara and other people made money from the scheme. He says that Mara Casares received a luxury box from superintendent Marcio Carlomagno and sold tickets for Colombian singer Shakira’s concert in February of this year. Carlomagno is considered the right-hand man of former president Julio Casares and the main name of the current administration for the 2026 election.

The luxury box that prompted the leaked recording, at the center of a legal case, was 3A, in the east section of Morumbis. In club documents, this space is listed as the “president’s room” and is located in front of São Paulo’s president’s office, now occupied by Massis.
