São Paulo councillor makes big claim: “Much more will emerge” | OneFootball

Amid political turmoil and investigations by authorities reaching São Paulo’s top leadership, council member José Medicis reinforced warnings about the possibility of new scandals emerging in the club’s management.

The statements were made during an appearance on the program ‘O Pé que Balança a Rede’.

Medicis recalled that he had already predicted, about six months ago, the worsening of the institutional crisis and said that new serious facts should come to light in the coming months.

“A lot more will come out, a lot more. Ugly stuff. How sad,” the council member said during the interview.

Calls for Financial Data

The central point of the council member’s remarks lies in the lack of detailed access to expenses made through corporate cards by São Paulo’s board.

Medicis stressed that he has been formally requesting clarification on the matter for months from the club’s oversight bodies.

“This corporate card business, I’ve been asking about it in the council for three or four months now. We don’t have the corporate card statements. Let them open up the corporate card issue. I’m waiting for the Fiscal Council’s report so it can be discussed in the Deliberative Council. I hope they already have the corporate card data,” he demanded.

Drawing a comparison with recent crises faced by other clubs in the state of São Paulo, the council member signaled that the lack of detailed accountability in this area could trigger even more severe consequences for the tricolor administration.

Recently, documents and invoices revealed that former São Paulo president Julio Casares spent more than R$ 1 million on the club’s corporate card during his tenure, between January 2021 and December 2025.

The amount covered institutional expenses, but also an extensive list of personal spending, including frequent meals at luxury restaurants, purchases at international designer stores, travel, and personal care.

Casares is under investigation by the Civil Police and the Public Prosecutor’s Office over cash withdrawals made by the presidency and on suspicion of the clandestine exploitation of luxury boxes at Morumbi Stadium.
