Corinthians trio cleared by STJD, no bans handed out | OneFootball

The 5th Disciplinary Commission of the STJD (Superior Court of Sports Justice) judged on the morning of this Tuesday the complaints involving Dorival Júnior, Fabinho Soldado, and Osmar Stabile. The trio from Corinthians could have faced a suspension due to complaints against the refereeing in the match against Internacional on October 1st at Beira-Rio, but they were acquitted.

All of them were charged under Article 258 of the CBJD (Brazilian Code of Sports Justice). Thus, the coach could have faced a suspension of one to six matches. Meanwhile, the officials could have been penalized for 15 to 180 days. However, the STJD Court found that the match report, which supported the complaint, was unfounded.

With the acquittal, the three are free to work normally in the next Corinthians match against Botafogo, for the 36th and penultimate round of the Brazilian Championship.

Recall the case

On that occasion, Corinthians drew 1-1 with Internacional, conceding a goal from a controversial penalty in the final moments. The aforementioned individuals made strong offensive remarks to the referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima, who reported the complaints in the match report.

The first was the football executive Fabinho Soldado. According to the referee, the official invaded the field after the match and said: “Shameful. You are a scoundrel.”

Still according to Rodrigo Pereira de Lima, Fabinho continued to complain about the penalty in the mixed zone, this time accompanied by the president Osmar Stabile. They allegedly said: “This is a disgrace what you did here.”

Finally, coach Dorival Júnior did not hold back. According to the referee, also in the mixed zone, the coach addressed the refereeing team in an “exalted and offensive” manner, saying: “You should leave here under arrest.” In both cases, police intervention was necessary.
