Document sent to leaders questions Alan Belaciano’s performance in labor debt negotiations after 115 days without response
About 100 Vasco members formalized a request for clarification on possible conflict of interest involving the President of the General Assembly, Alan Belaciano. The information was released by the newspaper .
The document was sent on Friday (09.mai.2025) to President Pedrinho, the leaders of the other powers of the club and to CEO Carlos Amodeo.
The mobilization continues a movement started in January 2025, when members began to question Belaciano’s participation in negotiations with labor creditors during the judicial recovery process of the club and SAF (corporation of football) of Vasco.
The chairman of the Deliberative Council, João Riche, established on 18 January a period of 15 days for Belaciano to present clarifications. At the end of this period, Riche granted another 30 days of time. Since the first request of the partners, 115 days have already passed without any official response.
The new document features signatures from 7 advisers elected on the same Pedrinho plate, as well as former club doctor Clovis Munhoz as alternate. Associates request the creation of an inquiry committee to investigate the case.
The partners ask for formal clarifications about a possible removal from cases of labor creditors, information about the power of attorney granted to Belaciano to represent Vasco in negotiations, as well as a “Comparative Analysis” Discounts negotiated with creditors who were customers of Belaciano earlier.
The initiative came from a survey conducted by Member José Américo, who compared Vasco’s labor debt payments plans with those of other clubs. The figures presented indicate that, using parameters applied in similar judicial recovery processes, the club could save R $ 144 million.
In the document sent by the partners, it states that “… There are evidence that Mr. Alan Belaciano has been simultaneously acted on ‘two sides’ of stories sensitive to the club: on the one hand, representing interests of third party creditors in CRVG (Vasco da Gama Regatta Club), and on the other, conducting or participating in negotiations on behalf of the CRVG itself and, possibly Vasco da Gama SAF, to pay off. Situation, if proven, would constitute a serious conflict of interest, violating basic principles of loyalty and zeal with Vasco’s heritage, and possibly falling as an act of reckless management under the terms of our status ”.
The survey of the partners showed that Belaciano participated in 80% of the hearings of labor proceedings of former Clients, as consulted with the website of the TRT (Regional Labor Court) of Rio de Janeiro. In the current plan presented by the club, the estimated economy is $ 100 million, with a payment limit of $ 5 million to creditors.
João Riche established two inquiry committees in June 2024: one to investigate the sale of 777 during the management of President Jorge Salgado, and another to investigate the management of Alexandre Campello. The commissions had a initial period of 120 days, extendable for an equal period. After 320 days since the creation of these committees, no report was presented to the Vasco Deliberative Council.
The club’s current plan projects the allocation of 6% of extraordinary revenues, such as sales of players, to settle debt over 10 years. The payment plan of labor debts is still under analysis in the judiciary.
