A São Paulo court has dismissed the charges against former Corinthians president Andrés Sanchez in a money laundering and tax crime case linked to the club’s corporate credit card usage.
The decision also impacts Roberto Gavioli, the club’s former finance director, who was removed from his position when the allegations surfaced.
Judge Marcia Mayumi Okoda Oshiro, of the 2nd Criminal Court specializing in Tax Crimes, Criminal Organizations and Money Laundering in São Paulo, signed off on the ruling. The judge determined there was insufficient evidence to proceed with a criminal trial and rejected the public prosecutor’s case before it began.
