Overview

  • Councillors meet at 6:30 p.m. local time in a secret ballot held in a hybrid format after a judge defined the rules for the session.
  • Proceedings require a 75% quorum to open, with removal advancing only if at least two‑thirds of those present vote for impeachment.
  • If approved, Casares is immediately sidelined and Vice President Harry Massis Junior assumes on an interim basis until a general assembly of members rules by simple majority.
  • Police are investigating roughly R$1.5 million in cash deposits into Casares’s personal accounts and about 35 cash withdrawals from club accounts since 2021 totaling around R$11 million.
  • Casares’s defense denies any link between club withdrawals and his deposits, and the club says it hired experts to gather invoices and document the cash outlays; fans protested outside MorumBis under a significant police presence.
