Although the amounts were returned with monetary correction in the second half of 2025, the case caused significant internal turmoil and criticism from council members. The expenses occurred throughout his administration, which began in 2021, during a period when the club faced severe financial crises and salary delays.

According to ge, Casares averaged R$ 8,000 per month in personal expenses on the card. The detailed accounting only came to light after a formal request from the Fiscal Council, as there had previously been no strict oversight or deadlines for the return of these amounts.

So far, Julio Casares has not officially commented on the revealed statements. The episode marks a moment of political tension at Morumbi, highlighting the fragility of internal oversight mechanisms in recent years.
