Memphis Depay to face STJD hearing on Thursday; what's going on | OneFootball

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) will judge Memphis Depay, this Thursday (09), over the incident in which the Dutchman used his cellphone on the bench during the 1-1 draw between Corinthians and Flamengo on March 22 at Neo Química Arena. The information was first reported by ge.globo.

The player was ultimately charged under Article 258 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which refers to conduct that goes against sporting discipline and ethics, and he may be punished with a suspension of one to six matches, in addition to a proportional fine. In the court’s view, the actions of an athlete “in a strong position to influence behavior, could normalize the use of electronic devices on the bench, which would weaken disciplinary control, open the door to improper communications, and create additional difficulties for referees and organizers in enforcing the rules.”

The STJD may also punish other Corinthians staff members over what happened in the match against Flamengo. Leonardo Carnevale, brand and business manager, and Mauro Silva, then technical observer, were charged based on Articles 243 and 258 of the CBJD. Referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima reported in the match sheet that both made offensive protests in front of the referees’ locker room.

Like Memphis Depay, both could also receive punishments ranging from one to six matches, with fines that may vary from R$ 100 to R$ 100,000.
