Overview
- The São Paulo prosecutor’s office filed a criminal complaint against three former finance leaders and the club’s ex–head of security over undocumented cash movements between 2018 and 2023.
- Investigators say ex-security chief João Odair de Souza, known as Caveira, received about R$3.47 million in cash without proof of how most of it was used.
- The case seeks full repayment to Corinthians, corrected for inflation to about R$7.3 million, plus moral damages of roughly R$2.6 million from the former officials.
- Prosecutors also asked a judge to freeze assets and to lift bank and tax secrecy to follow the money and identify any other participants.
- Ex-presidents Andrés Sanchez and Duilio Monteiro Alves were not charged, and the probe still examines payments logged as advances for the presidency, cash routed to an ex-driver, and possible use of shell firms.
