The Board of Directors of Flamengo, led by president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, archived on Monday the request for the removal of the club's Vice President of Assets, the lawyer Marcos Motta. The Deliberative Council, which was also asked about the matter, has not yet addressed the issue.
Opposition groups from the club filed a complaint last week with the three bodies of the club, claiming that Motta would be statutorily prevented from holding the position due to a conflict of interest. The main allegation is that Motta, founding partner of the law firm Bichara e Motta Advogados, maintains professional activity in the football market while holding a management position at Flamengo.
According to the complaint, Motta's law firm works on transfers of players and coaches, on structuring Football Corporations (SAFs) such as Santos', and offers consulting services for various clubs. The oppositionists argue that this simultaneous professional activity would constitute a conflict of interest incompatible with the position he holds at the club.
