Corinthians send police footage after Dérbi tunnel fracas, racism inquiry advances | OneFootball

Ge.globo reports that Corinthians have handed Civil Police internal CCTV from Neo Química Arena to aid the probe into the post-match fracas with Palmeiras. UOL adds that the club also sent West Stand footage to Drade regarding an alleged racist insult aimed at Palmeiras goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, flagged in a video published by Nosso Palestra.

The delegations accused each other of assaults in the tunnel after Sunday’s match. Palmeiras forward Luighi reported to police that he was struck by Corinthians goalkeeping coach Luiz Fernando dos Santos. Corinthians say Gabriel Paulista and Breno Bidon were attacked but the pair did not file complaints.

Referee Flávio Rodrigues de Souza recorded the incident in his match report. He wrote that, as relayed by the match delegate, a Corinthians security guard pushed Luighi while the doping control team tried to reach its room, triggering a broader scuffle.

He added that the disturbance was quelled by Anderson Barros, Fernando Diniz and the match delegate. Jecrim chief Cesar Saad initially described the scene as pushing and shoving and said he would await further footage before advancing the inquiry.

The case has also reached the STJD, which has charged Corinthians, Palmeiras, four players and the goalkeeping coach over the incident at Casa do Povo. The hearing is scheduled for Friday from 10h.

In the racism strand, a supporter in the West Stand was filmed calling Carlos Miguel 'macaco' moments after he saved a one-on-one from Yuri Alberto in the second half. Corinthians expressed solidarity and said they would identify the perpetrator. This matter has also been reported to the STJD.
