A partial report from the São Paulo Civil Police points out that a soccer -playing company, which was accused of having a connection with the CCP (first command of the capital) criminal faction, received more than $ 1 million from payments made by Corinthians.

According to the denunciation, UJ Football was laundering money from trafficking in the acquisition of athletes from the elite of Brazilian football.
Corinthians’ money would have arrived to the company from the club’s payments to the company Social Media Design. She belongs to Alex Fernando André, Alex Cassundé, who was part of the communication team of the current president of Corinthians, Augusto Melo, during the election campaign in which he ran for office.
The complaint that oranges companies would have received money from Corinthians motivated the termination of Vaidebet’s contract with the club in June last year. The sponsorship of the betting house had been the first major contract signed by the management of Augusto Melo.
Next Monday (26), from 18h (Brasília), the Corinthians Deliberative Council meets in Parque São Jorge to vote on the impeachment of Augusto Melo. The request was opened last year for irregularities in the contract signed with Vaidebet.
