Corinthians send footage of derby trouble against Palmeiras to police | OneFootball

Corinthians sent the police, last Wednesday, footage from the internal camera system at Neo Química Arena showing the incident involving players and members of the coaching staffs of Corinthians and Palmeiras after Sunday’s Brasileirão derby.

The disagreement began in the tunnel leading to the locker rooms right after the final whistle. Representatives from both teams got into a fight at the scene. Palmeiras claims that forward Luighi was assaulted by Corinthians goalkeeping coach Luiz Fernando dos Santos, and the player even filed a police report.

On the other hand, Corinthians released a statement alleging that center-back Gabriel Paulista and midfielder Breno Bidon were assaulted by security guards linked to Palmeiras. Despite the accusation, the club did not pursue the case further.

In the Derby match report, referee Flávio Rodrigues de Souza described the events. According to him, match delegate Rogério Menezes Lopes reported that, at the moment when the team responsible for doping control tried to take Luighi to the testing room, there was “a shove by a member of the Corinthians security staff.”

The referee also said that he did not witness direct assaults against players from either team. The report states that a security guard allegedly pushed Luighi to prevent him from going to the doping room, a situation that sparked the confusion, which was later brought under control by Palmeiras director Anderson Barros and Corinthians head coach Fernando Diniz.

The case was sent to the STJD (Superior Court of Sports Justice), which charged Corinthians, Palmeiras, and four players from the black-and-white team. If punished, the home club could lose up to ten home matches.

At the same time, Drade (Police Department for the Repression of Sports Intolerance Offenses) is investigating an alleged episode of racism involving Palmeiras goalkeeper Carlos Miguel.

A video recorded by a Corinthians fan, at the moment the goalkeeper prevents a goal by Yuri Alberto, captures another person insulting the player by calling him a “monkey.” The footage does not make it possible to identify who made the offensive remark, only the audio with the insult.

According to ge.globo, the police have already identified the woman who made the recording and intend to question her in an attempt to find out who was responsible for the verbal abuse.
