São Paulo prosecutors oppose urgent intervention at Corinthians | OneFootball

São Paulo’s public prosecutors have, for the first time, set out their stance on a bid for court intervention at Corinthians, opposing an urgent injunction. According to UOL, the position was filed on Monday in response to a 24 March petition from members of “Salvem o Corinthians”.

The two-page submission is signed by André Pascoal da Silva, of the Promotoria de Justiça do Patrimônio Público e Social, and by Luiz Ambra Neto, who opened an inquiry in 2025 on the recommendation of Cássio Conserino, the prosecutor pursuing criminal probes into alleged irregularities by former club presidents.

The filing says the petition lists recent administrations and, in the authors’ view, a pattern of reckless management that harmed club assets and would justify intervention. It also notes the matter is already under an MP-SP inquiry, currently suspended due to a Corinthians appeal awaiting review by the CSMP.

The prosecutors acknowledge the seriousness of the claims but say the probe remains embryonic and does not support a liminar ordering immediate intervention. They add that Corinthians should be heard first to avoid deepening institutional instability, for instance if an injunction were granted then overturned.

They also support a 30-day extension for the petitioners to supplement the initial filing with further documents.

The petition, signed by 18 members of “Salvem o Corinthians”, was first lodged with the Second Bankruptcy and Judicial Recovery Court of the São Paulo Court of Justice, within the Regime Centralizado de Execuções. The judge declined that connection and sent it to the 13th Civil Court.

The associates cite the rejection of the 2020 accounts under ex-president Andrés Sanchez, rising debt, allegedly harmful contracts, and probes into suspected misuse of a corporate card by Andrés and Duilio Monteiro Alves. They also reference controversies under Osmar Stabile, including a 23 March Deliberative Council meeting to remove its president, Romeu Tuma Júnior, deemed irregular by internal bodies and flagged by Conserino in the intervention inquiry.

On 31 March, judge Clarissa Rodrigues asked MP-SP to comment and to consider joining the action as a co-claimant. Monday’s filing answers that order.
