Vasco da Gama approves football department sale amid corruption allegations
Vasco da Gama's Deliberative Council has approved the sale of its football department to investor Marcos Lamacchia. The decision was reached during a virtual session marked by intense conflict.
During the meeting, councilman Pedro Sampaio, a member of the opposition Casaca group, publicly accused club president Pedrinho of receiving improper financial advantages during the negotiations. Pedrinho vehemently denied the allegations, calling the accusation a “great disrespect” and stating that the councilman would have to prove his claims in court. The club's legal department is reportedly preparing judicial measures to seek a formal retraction.
Despite the heated debate, the sale project was validated with 175 votes in favor, 26 against, and 3 abstentions. Additionally, the council approved reforms to the club's statutory rules with 172 positive votes to ensure compliance with the corporate contract requirements.
