Police arrested a man suspected of impersonating Portuguese coach Luís Castro, current manager of Grêmio. The suspect used the coach's identity to approach club players and request money, thus committing crimes of fraud and ideological falsehood.
The scheme involved directly contacting players, pretending to be the coach himself, and asking for money under various pretexts. The players were approached for some time before the situation was reported to authorities.
Luís Castro is a Portuguese coach with experience in various clubs, having recently taken charge of Grêmio. The arrest of the con man occurred after an investigation conducted by police, who identified the suspect and obtained sufficient evidence for his capture.
