The Public Prosecution Service of São Paulo offered a complaint to the court against Augusto Melo, president removed from Corinthians. He, former leaders Marcelo Mariano and Sérgio Moura and businessman Alex Cassundé are accused of crimes of criminal association, money laundering and theft.
As has been done since the beginning of the inquiry about alleged irregularities in the Sponsorship Agreement with the Betting House Vaidebet, Augusto denied the accusations. His defense maintains that he “has no involvement with any irregularities linked to the case.”
According to MP-SP, there was irregularity in the payment of commissions at the closing of the contract in early 2024. Prosecutors maintain that “the tortuous and illegal paths that the money from the moment came from the Corinthians coffers are very clear.”
They understand that the alvinegra association had a loss of $ 40 million with the deviation and request that it be compensated in this amount. They also ask for the blockade of assets of the reported men.
