Members file fresh impeachment bid against Osmar Stabile at Corinthians | OneFootball

A group made up of Corinthians council members and club members filed a new impeachment request this Wednesday (3) against club president Osmar Stabile. The request was sent to the president of the Deliberative Council and argues that the executive committed a series of statutory, administrative, and legal violations related to the hiring of private security companies during his administration.

In the document, the signatories state that the alleged irregularities undermine Corinthians’ transparency, governance, and financial health, in addition to constituting noncompliance with the club’s bylaws and the General Sports Law.

The request focuses part of its arguments on the hiring of Mega Assessoria Operacional Ltda., responsible for security services for Corinthians. According to the authors of the filing, the company was hired without a formal contract and without following the procedures set out in the bylaws for waiving mandatory price quotations. The text also states that there was no formal authorization from the Advisory Council (Cori), the body that should review this type of hiring.

The signatories point out that the company was established in July 2025 and has as its sole partner Fernando José da Silva, known as “Nandão,” Corinthians’ operations manager and a close collaborator of the current administration.

The request also mentions Stabile’s public statements about the case. The authors claim that the president merely informed the club’s internal oversight bodies about the hiring, without first submitting it for the approval required under club rules.

Another issue raised concerns payments made to the company. According to the document, Mega issued three invoices that together total approximately R$ 676,000. The council members claim the payments were made without a formal contract between the parties and point to alleged inconsistencies in the issuance of the invoices, including the later replacement of documents.

The request also cites investigations already opened by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office related to the hiring and the invoices issued by the company.

New hiring is also questioned

The document also refers to the hiring of Bear Security Ltda., recently revealed by journalist Livia Camilo of Sport Insider. According to the authors of the request, the company was hired under circumstances similar to those attributed to Mega.

The report revealed that the company, based in Rio de Janeiro, has only Corinthians as a known client and does not have authorization from the Federal Police to provide private security services. Even so, according to the published information, the club’s board has already made payments exceeding R$ 586,000 to Bear Security. According to the club, the hiring followed internal governance and compliance procedures and was motivated by the credibility and relationship of trust built with the professionals involved.

The authors of the impeachment request argue that the hirings described amount to reckless management, due to the lack of competition, formal contracts, administrative transparency, and compliance with internal control mechanisms. The text maintains that such conduct may constitute a violation of Corinthians’ bylaws, the General Sports Law, the Civil Code, and the governance principles applicable to sports entities.

The council members also point to a possible conflict of interest due to the relationship between members of the administration and those responsible for the hired companies.

Requests submitted to the Council

At the end, the signatories request:

The document is signed by council members Marcelo Mandel, Antonio Roque Citadini, Fernando Perino, Yun Ki Lee, Peterson Ruan, Miriam Athie, Suzy Miranda, André Moreno, Romero Avila, José Augusto Cardoso Mendes, as well as Corinthians members, and requests the opening of a procedure to investigate the allegations and the possible removal of the president if the accusations are confirmed.

Recent precedent

This is not the first move by council members and members against Osmar Stabile’s administration. In April, a group of Corinthians members filed an impeachment request against the president, alleging supposed violations of the club’s bylaws and legal rules applicable to the administration of the entity.

At the time, the focus of the challenge was the agreement signed between Corinthians and the Attorney General’s Office of the National Treasury (PGFN) to restructure a tax debt estimated at R$ 1.2 billion. The authors of the request especially questioned the use of Parque São Jorge as collateral in the negotiation.

According to the signatories, the board offered as collateral the set of properties that make up the club’s social headquarters, an asset valued at approximately R$ 602.2 million. For the group, the measure was adopted without following the procedures and authorizations provided for in Corinthians’ internal rules.
