Corinthians overturns Bertolucci's claim for over R$22 million | OneFootball

The Corinthians achieved a significant victory in court, in a dispute with businessman Giuliano Bertolucci. The club managed to nullify the execution of R$22.4 million, an amount that was part of the R$78.2 million claimed by the businessman in the Centralized Execution Regime (RCE). The defense managed to nullify the charge on the grounds of undue addition of compound interest on the debt pointed out by Bertolucci.

The sentence signed by Judge Fábio Rogério Bojo Pellegrino argues that the "calculations are imprecise and do not allow the evolution of the debt and the charges levied to be verified". The Corinthians' defense was represented by the law firm Bianchini Advogados, by Ricardo Bianchini, who has been working with the Legal Department for several years.

Bertolucci took Corinthians to court in January demanding loans, intermediations and overdue amounts involving transfers and renewals of players who have passed through Corinthians in the recent past. Among the names of athletes mentioned in the lawsuits filed by Bertolucci, players such as midfielders Paulinho and Ramiro, striker Jô and right-back Matheuzinho appear.

Corinthians, in turn, acknowledged in the RCE a debt of R$78.2 million and, in February, filed an embargo in court to try to suspend the execution of the debt with the businessman on the grounds of error in the final amount. The club, in this embargo, does not recognize R$6 million.

Complaint filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office

The Public Prosecutor's Office filed a complaint about problems faced by fans when accessing the Neo Química Arena on match days due to turnstile blockages caused by the use of a ticket by another person after purchase on the OneFan website.

In June, the Public Prosecutor's Office demanded measures from Corinthians, which began collecting fans' facial biometrics for ticket purchase and entry into the stadium. The agency understood that the results were satisfactory and filed the case.
