Main Corinthians ultras post 'countdown' to ex-president expulsion vote | OneFootball

This Saturday (8), Gaviões da Fiel used its social media channels to publish a kind of “countdown” aimed at next May 25. The date marks the meeting of Corinthians’ Deliberative Council, which will review the request to expel former president Andrés Sanchez, as previously reported by Central do Timão.

The club’s former president is under investigation for alleged misuse of Corinthians’ corporate card. According to the findings, personal expenses may have exceeded R$ 480,000 between 2018 and 2021. Last month, the club’s Ethics Council unanimously approved moving forward with the case involving Andrés and referred it to the Deliberative Council for review.

In the post published by Corinthians’ main supporters’ group, fans recall the former executive’s history with the club and call on Corinthians supporters to attend Parque São Jorge on the day of the vote.

The session scheduled for the 25th will be divided into stages. First, the Ethics Committee will read its opinion and present the basis of the case. Then, Andrés Sanchez’s defense will have the opportunity to speak before the council members’ final vote.

Possible outcomes include permanent expulsion from the membership rolls, lighter penalties — such as suspension or temporary removal — or even the former president’s acquittal.

In addition to the internal issues at Corinthians, Andrés is also the subject of investigations conducted by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office. In October 2025, the MP-SP charged the former executive and Roberto Gavioli, the club’s former financial manager.

According to the agency, both are accused of embezzlement and money laundering. Andrés Sanchez was also charged over alleged falsification of a tax document.

EXPULSION OF ANDRÉS SANCHEZ

Gaviões da Fiel Torcida informs that, starting today, it has begun on its official social media channels a 16-day countdown to May 25, the date on which the Deliberative Council of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista will deliberate on the expulsion of former president Andrés Sanchez.

The initiative aims to mobilize and keep the Faithful supporters informed about the importance of this moment in the club’s recent history. Over the next few days, the countdown will reinforce the supporters’ group’s position, which advocates for the Deliberative Council to make a decision aligned with the interests and values of Corinthians supporters and Corinthians itself.

Gaviões da Fiel also calls on all Corinthians supporters to mark May 25 on their calendars, a date that has already been treated internally and among fans as the “D-Day” of this process.

We also stress that we will not allow the cases involving other former executives and council members to be forgotten, including deliberations on the expulsions of Duílio Monteiro Alves and Augusto Melo, matters that remain on the supporters’ radar and also require attention and responsibility from the Deliberative Council.

We will remain alert, mobilized, and active, fulfilling our historic role of representing the voice of the Faithful supporters.
