Prosecutors probe Corinthians fiscal board over possible misrepresentation | OneFootball

The Public Prosecutor’s Office of the State of São Paulo has launched an investigation to examine a possible case of false representation involving members of Corinthians’ Fiscal Council, according to information from ge.globo. The inquiry is being led by prosecutor Cássio Conserino and is related to the meeting that served as the basis for the favorable opinion on Osmar Stabile administration’s 2025 accounts.

The investigation began after questions were raised about Haroldo Dantas’ participation in a Fiscal Council meeting held shortly before the vote in the Deliberative Council. Haroldo works as a lawyer for companies linked to the club’s president and, due to a possible conflict of interest, had officially been removed from his duties within the oversight body.

Even in light of the decision ordering his removal, Haroldo actively participated in the meeting, led the proceedings, and signed the minutes recommending approval of the current administration’s accounts, albeit with reservations. The document ultimately served as the basis for the subsequent vote in the Deliberative Council.

The figures presented by Corinthians for the last financial year showed a deficit of R$ 143.441 million. Despite the negative result, Osmar Stabile’s board managed to get the accounts approved during the meeting of the club’s deliberative body.

In the filing signed this Wednesday, prosecutor Cássio Conserino ordered the testimony of Ronaldo Fernandez Tomé, a member of the Ethics Committee of the Deliberative Council and the person responsible for Haroldo Dantas’ removal. The hearing was scheduled for next Monday. In addition, the Public Prosecutor’s Office requested that the club’s representatives be formally notified of the opening of the criminal investigation.

The objective of the investigation conducted by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office is to gather elements that may support a possible complaint in court for false representation. Among the council members mentioned in the proceeding are Paulo Schmidt Pimentel and Cláudio Luiz Senise, members of the Fiscal Council.

“The council member’s removal was not an irrelevant detail. It was essential information to determine: the regularity of the body’s composition, the validity of the meeting, the need to call an alternate member, the legitimacy of the opinion, the soundness of the approval of the accounts”, wrote Cássio Conserino.
