Casares allies hit back, link Massis to alleged ticket scam | OneFootball

Alleged leaked audio fragments to Julio Casares' allies prompted the scheduling of a meeting of São Paulo's Advisory Council for this Friday afternoon (20), in Jardins, the central region of São Paulo's capital, in an attempt to involve the current tricolor president, Harry Massis Júnior, in a supposed ticket diversion scheme.

The alleged ticket buying and selling scheme for Tricolor games would involve Massis' daughter.

The mastermind behind what is being called a 'coup attempt' in the backstage would be the president of the Deliberative Council himself, Olten Ayres de Abreu, an ally of Casares, who would assume the presidency in case of the current leader's removal.

In recent days, allies of Olten and Casares have been approaching journalists offering this alleged accusation. Only an audio, a conversation screenshot, and a bank transfer receipt were shown (and not actually handed over).

AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR spoke with a fellow journalist who saw the material. He prefers to keep the name of the person who approached him confidential and revealed that this 'whistleblower' did not hand over the materials, only allowed him to read and listen on a cell phone.

"I was told it was a ticket selling scheme. But there is no concrete evidence," he said.

According to this fellow professional, the 'whistleblower' identified himself as being sent by the president of the São Paulo Deliberative Council, and the promise was that Massis' daughter had diverted more than 1,500 tickets to scalpers.

"But the value on the bank receipt was much, much lower. And in the audio, she only mentions buying the tickets, that's all, without giving many details and without characterizing a scheme," he added.

AMT tried to speak with Olten to comment on the information, but received no response by the time this report was published.

Allies of Massis who spoke with the report state that the president's daughter admits to buying tickets at the club's ticket offices and reselling them to an acquaintance. The total, however, would not exceed 20 tickets. A practice that may be immoral, but is not prohibited by the Statute.

The meeting in the Advisory Council does not have the same tone as the meeting held by the board at the beginning of January, when it was 'advised' that Casares could not face impeachment after a series of scandals leaked about him and his directors, which led to a criminal investigation.

It is quietly said that this Friday's meeting, which will include Casares' presence, aims to pressure Massis regarding the club's internal ethical procedures against those removed.
