In addition to the issues involving the club, Corinthians players and members of the coaching staff were charged under articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD) for conduct during and after the match.

Right-back Matheuzinho was charged with physical aggression after being sent off in the match and could serve a suspension of between four and 12 games. Midfielder André Luiz is being held accountable for conduct contrary to sporting ethics, with a possible penalty of up to six matches.

Goalkeeper Hugo Souza was cited for statements involving the refereeing and could be suspended for between one and six matches. Breno Bidon, meanwhile, was charged for participating in an act considered hostile during the confusion at the entrance to the locker rooms, with a possible punishment of up to three matches.

Goalkeeping coach Luiz Fernando dos Santos is also named in the complaint, accused of involvement in a general brawl in the tunnel after the end of the match. In this case, the punishment could range from two to ten matches.

On the collective side, Corinthians was charged under different articles dealing with disorder at the sports venue, unrest, and discriminatory acts. Depending on the ruling, the club could be punished with the loss of home-field rights, in addition to a fine.

The document also mentions an episode of racial abuse during the match. In one of the excerpts, the Prosecutor’s Office stresses the seriousness of the case and the need for a firm stance from Sports Justice. On Palmeiras’ side, the complaint is limited to participation in the confusion recorded in the tunnel leading to the locker rooms after the final whistle, with the possibility of a fine being imposed if those involved are not individually identified.

Now, the case moves on to judgment at the STJD, where the possible punishments for the players, coaching staff members, and the club itself will be decided.
