Ponte Preta leadership faces CBF ethics complaint over financial crisis

Historical figures and opposition members of the Brazilian football club Ponte Preta have filed a formal complaint with the CBF Ethics Committee. The document, signed by approximately 50 individuals, alleges serious irregularities and ethical infractions by the current administration.

The complaint specifically cites “grave evidence of reckless management” by President Luiz Torrano and Vice-President Marco Antônio Eberlin. The group is calling for an intervention by the CBF to address a severe financial crisis characterized by months of unpaid employee salaries.

In addition to seeking intervention, the opposition is demanding the resignation of the entire current board to facilitate a responsible leadership transition and attract new investors. This administrative turmoil coincides with the club's sporting struggles, as the team has already been relegated from Serie B.
