Overview
- Conselheiros approved the measure with 188 votes in a hybrid, secret ballot authorized by the 3rd Civil Court of Butantã, surpassing the two‑thirds threshold with 223 participants.
- Vice president Harry Massis Júnior, 80, assumed as interim president and pledged responsibility and transparency in his first remarks.
- The Polícia Civil inquiry remains active into suspected financial crimes, with reports citing roughly R$1.5 million in cash deposits to Casares (2023–2025) and about 35 club cash withdrawals totaling around R$11 million, with the club treated as a possible victim.
- Leaked audios and reports describe an alleged illicit use and sale of Morumbi boxes linked to a high‑profile concert, leading to departures or suspensions of directors named in the recordings, whose representatives deny wrongdoing.
- The Council’s decision now moves to a General Assembly requiring a simple majority, and some outlets report Casares could consider resigning before that vote, which would end the impeachment process.
