São Paulo Prosecutors File Case Against Andrés Sanchez and Corinthians Finance Chief Over Corporate-Card Misuse

Prosecutors say the filing stems from a court-authorized probe into suspicious corporate-card spending, with scrutiny now turning to invoices tied to Duílio Monteiro Alves.

Overview

  • The MP-SP formally accused ex-president Andrés Sanchez and finance director Roberto Gavioli of misappropriation, money laundering and falsity of tax documents related to club corporate cards.
  • Prosecutors seek R$480,000 in restitution from Sanchez plus moral damages, with potential tax-evasion action contingent on the assessment of a tax credit.
  • The complaint addresses spending during Sanchez’s 2018–2020 tenure within a broader investigation that also examines the subsequent administrations of Duílio Monteiro Alves and Augusto Melo.
  • A judge earlier authorized the breaking of secrecy on the club’s cards and on records from Oliveira Minimercado, after invoices reflected atypical purchases and payments flagged as suspect.
  • Investigators will now review invoices tied to Duílio Monteiro Alves, and his driver Denilson Grilo is scheduled to testify on October 23 as a judge decides whether the case advances to trial.
