CBF files criminal representation against Gaviões da Fiel leader
The Confederação Brasileira de Futebol announced it filed a criminal representation and request for action with the Public Ministry of the State of São Paulo against Alexandre Domenico, president of the Corinthians organized supporter group Gaviões da Fiel. The governing body cited public statements posted on social media by Domenico directed at Brazilian referees. The federation stated that while criticism of officiating remains legitimate within sport, public warnings and references to the private lodging locations of referees cross the line from free expression into intimidation and threats.
The governing body requested that prosecutors open a criminal investigative procedure or police inquiry to examine potential violations under penal legislation and the General Sports Law. The filing also asks authorities to implement urgent security measures to protect referee crews during upcoming Corinthians fixtures, covering stadiums, hotels, and transit routes. Additionally, the federation seeks the preservation of data tied to the social media post, interviews with group directors, an investigation into how confidential hotel information was obtained, and civil measures against the organization and its leaders.
