Powers and institutions have had divergences on measures after the fans of Sport and Santa Cruz fans on Saturday (1st) in Recife. While the Government of Pernambuco and the State Public Prosecution Service have similar positions, the judiciary and teams differ on the visions of the two organs.
On Monday night (3), the court upheld Sport’s request to release the presence of fans in their games. Judge Fernando Cerqueira of the Pernambuco Court of Justice overthrew the restriction imposed by Governor Raquel Lyra (PSDB), who announced, on Saturday (1st), the ban on the next five games of Sport and Santa Cruz, on alignment to a recommendation from the Public Prosecution Service.
“The General Law of Sport establishes that the responsibility of the club for acts of fans presupposes the identification of those responsible and the demonstration of its direct relationship with the sports entity, which is not verified in the case file,” says the judge in the decision, when pointing out a public security problem.
The decision of Judge Fernando Cerqueira, rendered on Monday (3), releases the presence of public from the client fans throughout February. From March, clubs must implement facial biometrics, under penalty of R $ 100,000 per sports event.
In appealing to court, Sport adopted a more critical tone to the state government than Santa Cruz, which did not speak on social networks against the government’s measure. The president of Santa Cruz, Bruno Rodrigues, occupies the position of president of Ceasa, an organ of the government of Pernambuco, and is a political ally of Governor Raquel Lyra.
The Government’s goal was to make clubs adapt to the adoption of measures in the period, such as the implementation of facial biometrics, as well as measures of logistics by the private security of clubs.
“There is an easy discourse from the clubs to say that inside the stadium has no problem. Who does the security inside the stadium is the Military Police and the Fire Department. It has no private security even to organize a line, who has to organize is a one PM. And it is the obligation of the club, “said the secretary of social defense, Alessandro Carvalho, on Monday morning.
A report produced by the Sports Intolerance Police Station a day before the game shows that the SDS (Secretariat of Social Defense) was alerted about clashes combined by social networks by the organized coral and young explosion of the Lion. The document contains images of publications that publications They encourage fights, lists risk points in the city and provide information on explosive artifacts and car and motorcycle support.
“Despite all the planning and attempt to anticipate possible crises, the facts that occurred last Saturday (1st) fled the expected standard, requiring a rapid and firm response from security forces. The staff acted to avoid deaths and minimize damage to People and heritage by dispersing the groups involved and controlling confrontations as agile as possible, “SDS said in a statement about the report.
On Sunday (2), the court ordered the pre -trial detention of the 13 people arrested in the act for involvement in the fights held the day before on the streets of Recife. The main focus of confrontation was in the Madalena neighborhood, west of the city.
Officially, the three main organized fans of Pernambuco were extinguished in 2020. However, according to the Pernambuco prosecutor, they changed only the name and the CNPJ.
“These are the same people, the same chants of war, the same ways of acting, the same rematch. Clubs cannot accept these people in their homes, their parties, celebrations, and leaders should not take pictures with them,” said the Coordinator of the Sports and Defense of the Public Prosecutor, Antonio Aroxelas.
This Tuesday (4), Sport will play against Fortaleza for the Northeast Cup. The game is scheduled for 9:30 pm. Following the decision of the TJ-PE, the Pernambuco Public Security Bureau began the operational planning of the Military Police for the game, which will have a unique crowd.
The State Attorney General evaluates whether to appeal the decision. The Public Prosecutor of Pernambuco did not say whether it will appeal.
In March last year, a bus with players from Fortaleza was attacked by stones by members of an organized Sport fans while returning from the Pernambuco Arena after a game of the Northeast Cup. Members of the Ceará club delegation were injured. The seven prisoners were released two months later.
One of those detainees over the weekend for the fights, according to the Civil Police, was also involved in the case of stones to the Fortaleza bus last year.
For the game, one of the stadium sectors will have admission only for those who registered facial biometrics through a club ticket purchase application. “Another important point is that it will be forbidden to access the stadium with any proposed props to the organized fans on Tuesday,” said Sport.
The president of the Pernambuco Football Federation, Evandro Carvalho, argues that there is only unique fans in the classics involving Sport, Santa Cruz and Nautical, as it was last year in Pernambuco. The model is adopted in São Paulo in games among the big clubs.
This year, the model of two fans in classics resumed in Pernambuco. On the 25th, a game between Nautical and Santa Cruz had two fans in the afflicted. The situation was repeated the following Saturday to Santa Cruz and Sport, when there were fights on the streets of the Pernambuco capital.
