The STJD (Superior Court of Sports Justice of the Soccer) rejected the Flamengo’s preliminary injunction to paralyze the Brazilian Championship during the Copa America dispute. The decision was announced tonight.
The president of the STJD, Otávio Noronha, stated in a dispatch that the stoppage could cause damage to the championship and did not grant the injunction claimed by Flamengo.
However, the urgent progress of the process was determined, opening the eyes to the CBF and the Attorney for Sports Justice. The case will be judged and defined together with the auditors of the Plenum, the last national instance, in a session scheduled for next Thursday.
This Friday, Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches, Flamengo’s legal vice president, said on his Twitter account that the club had called the STJD, claiming the suspension of the Brazilian Championship during the Copa América.
The official claimed that Flamengo, as well as other teams, is being harmed by the embezzlement of players called up by the teams.
Four Flamengo players were called up for the Copa America. Everton Ribeiro and Gabigol, both from the Brazilian team, as well as Isla (Chile) and Arrascaeta (Uruguay). Without the quartet, Fla will have nine rounds of the Brazilian defaulted.
