Vasco gives lecture to combat betting manipulation, distributes booklet to players

Concerned about the betting manipulation scandal that has been shaking Brazilian football, Vasco promoted a lecture with the squad, seeking to inform and make players aware of the seriousness of the issue. Executive director Paulo Bracks provided clarifications on the investigation and each athlete received a booklet prepared by the legal department on the subject.

The conversation was held at CT Moacyr Barbosa and was directed by director Bracks, who aimed to clarify important points on the subject.

After the lecture, a booklet developed by the club's Legal Department was distributed to the players.

So far, no Vasco player has been mentioned in the investigations of the operation conducted by the Public Ministry of Goiás and named ‘Penalidade Máxima’ (Maximum Penalty).

Due to the ‘Operation Maximum Penalty’, 16 investigated became defendants due to alleged participation in a sports betting manipulation scheme. Among those denounced are several players from Serie A and Serie B clubs. Many others are being investigated.

Within the current squads of Rio de Janeiro football teams, for the time being, defender Vitor Mendes, from Fluminense, is the only suspect of participating in the sports betting manipulation scheme, when he was still playing for Juventude. The ‘tricolor’ removed the athlete preventively.
