Justice committee disputes Stabile meeting, warns Corinthians of risk | OneFootball

The Justice Committee of the Corinthians Deliberative Council sent a letter to President Osmar Stabile, formally expressing opposition to the extraordinary meeting called by the board for next Monday (23), which has on its agenda the vote on the removal of Council President Romeu Tuma Júnior.

In the document, which Central do Timão accessed, the committee argues that the call presents statutory irregularities, violates the due internal process, and could expose the club to the risk of judicial intervention.

The opinion, signed by the Committee President Corinto Baldoino Parreira e Costa, and members André Moreno, Alexandre Silveira, and Fausto de Totti, was sent to the club's board last Friday (20). In the text, the Committee states it acts “in defense of the legal security” of the club and recommends the cancellation of the session.

According to the letter, the notice that called the meeting was unilaterally determined by the board, which, in the Committee's assessment, constitutes a competence flaw. The document argues that the Corinthians Statute reserves to the Deliberative Council itself and its internal bodies the authority to deliberate on the possible removal of members, not allowing the board to conduct the process.

The Committee also states that the attempt to provisionally remove the President of the Deliberative Council disregards the procedure provided in the Statute and ignores the proceedings in the club's Ethics and Discipline Committee. According to the opinion, the measure violates principles such as the right to a fair hearing and ample defense, by seeking a removal without the conclusion of the disciplinary procedure's instruction phase.

Mention of Public Prosecutor's Office statement

Another point highlighted in the document is the statement from the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the administrative acts related to the case. The Committee states that the ministerial body has already been informed about what it classified as a possible administrative irregularity.

According to the text, maintaining the extraordinary meeting could increase the risk of judicial intervention in the club's administration.

Finally, the Justice Committee formally recommends that the extraordinary meeting scheduled for March 23 not be held, arguing that continuing the act under the current conditions could compromise the legality of the decisions and generate legal consequences for Corinthians.

The letter was filed with the Deliberative Council and forwarded to the club's presidency for acknowledgment and action.
