São Paulo thankful: Libra funds freed after Flamengo injunction overturned | OneFootball

São Paulo celebrated the victory in the Libra Justice, the Brazilian Football League it is part of, after Judge Lúcia Helena do Passo overturned the injunction requested by Flamengo, which blocked R$ 83 million from a portion of the broadcast rights of the Brasileirão.

The amounts would be transferred to the clubs belonging to the League, and this total of R$ 83 million shows an increase compared to the R$ 77 million initially disclosed.

According to Gazeta Esportiva, this increase of R$ 6 million is due to an amount related to Grêmio, which had not been accounted for. The case is under judicial secrecy.

According to the initial information published by journalist PVC, the magistrate altered and reduced the total blockage of the amount, understanding that it didn't make sense to withhold the entire amount in dispute. She considered that, if the merits of the case are judged in favor of the Flamengo's argument, the difference due to Flamengo would be R$ 1.6 million, which is the only amount currently blocked.

The Rio de Janeiro club now has five business days to present a counter-argument, or the amount of R$ 1.6 million will remain under judicial blockage.

TRICOLOR X FLAMENGO

Following the action filed by Flamengo, São Paulo criticized the rival through an official statement issued at the end of last month, where it condemned the conduct of the Rio de Janeiro club, which breached an agreement with Libra regarding payment of quotas.

In its manifesto, Tricolor attacked the current management of the rival, criticizing the attitude for not honoring already established contracts, saying it is not 'consistent with its grand past' and has the 'intention of financially hindering Brazilian football' by blocking funds that clubs had already planned for.

“The current management of Flamengo seems not to understand that it is responsible for the inherited contracts. After all, the vast history of the Rio de Janeiro club was built over the years, not by the current leaders.

We trust that the Rio de Janeiro Justice will be able to assess the attitude of the Rio de Janeiro club correctly and impartially,” concluded São Paulo in its statement of aversion issued.

A few days later, Tricolor released a new official statement (check here) of repudiation, denying several falsehoods that the Rio de Janeiro club has been spreading.
