São Paulo Court Authorizes Break of Secrecy on Corinthians’ Corporate Cards

The ruling gives prosecutors access to records to scrutinize suspected irregular spending tied to a purported supplier.

Overview

  • The order covers transactions from January 2018 to May 2025 across the presidencies of Andrés Sanchez, Duílio Monteiro Alves and Augusto Melo.
  • Judge Marcia Mayumi Okoda Oshiro, from the 2nd Court for Tax Crimes, Criminal Organization and Money Laundering, also authorized access to Oliveira Minimercado’s tax records.
  • Oliveira Minimercado is suspected of issuing fraudulent invoices for the club and is seeking habeas corpus to try to block the measure.

  • Corinthians says it delivered requested statements on September 16, while prosecutors cite delays, after the probe was spurred by leaked card invoices reported by GE.
