#AGOSTO

🚨 Now! Corinthians has accumulated 4 overdue installments of an agreement that reduced its debt with the Union from R$ 1.2 billion to R$ 679 million. Timão failed to pay the installments for June, July, August, and September, totaling R$ 27.3 MILLION overdue. The contract allows for CANCELLATION after 3 overdue installments. The Attorney General of the National Treasury notified the club in August but stated that the agreement remains in effect and that Corinthians has 30 days to pay or present a defense. If canceled, the ORIGINAL amount of the debt will return, deducting only the amounts paid. Corinthians will also be 2 YEARS unable to enter into new tax agreements. The club stated that it relies on its good relationship with the PGFN to resolve the situation. 🗞️ @geglobo (translated)

🚨 VASCO CONTESTS TECHNICAL CRITERIA OF FLA-FLU, POINTS OUT VIOLATION OF CONCESSION RULES AND CITES DECISION FROM TJRJ IN ACTION FOR MARACANÃ Vasco filed an obligation lawsuit on Wednesday (1st) with a request for urgent protective measures to try to secure the Maracanã against Boca Juniors on October 20, for the semifinal of the South American Cup. In the action, the club directly questions the technical criteria used by Fla-Flu to deny the stadium, points out unequal treatment, supports violations of concession rules, and also explores a contradiction involving the Memorandum of Understanding. 📌 WHAT FLA-FLU ALLEGED In response to Vasco, the concessionaire pointed to the accumulated wear of the lawn, the climatic conditions of July and August, and the need to preserve the intervals designated for field maintenance. For 10/20, Fla-Flu specifically mentioned games of Fluminense on 10/18 and Flamengo on 10/22. With Vasco x Boca between these matches, there would be three games in five days. According to the concessionaire, this sequence would prevent procedures such as helical mowing, targeted fertilization, supplemental lighting, and repair of damage to the lawn. 📌 VASCO QUESTIONS THE TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION The first counterpoint is the lawn itself. Vasco highlights that, three days after the denial, it was announced that the existing field would be removed and new Bermuda Celebration rolls would be placed, with the return of football scheduled for 10/08. Vasco x Boca will be on 10/20. The club's thesis is that it would not be possible to use the accumulated wear of the old lawn as justification for a match that will take place 12 days after the return of football to the renewed field. 📌 GREENLEAF DOCUMENT IS USED BY VASCO Vasco also retrieves the technical planning prepared by Greenleaf, the company responsible for lawn maintenance, in August. According to the action, the document shows that the same procedures cited by Fla-Flu to deny Vasco x Boca have already been carried out in a concentrated manner between matches. The petition states that helical mowing, targeted fertilization, supplemental lighting, and damage repair have even been grouped in a single day after a match, even in a winter scenario and lawn wear. The question posed by Vasco is direct: if this work could be done in August to accommodate the sequence of games from Flamengo and Fluminense, why couldn't it be repeated in October, after the complete lawn replacement? 📌 INTERVAL BETWEEN GAMES Vasco also contests the argument of three games in five days by comparing the situation with the recent calendar of the Maracanã. The action argues that sequences with reduced intervals for Flamengo and Fluminense matches have already been admitted. For Vasco, if the necessary interval for lawn recovery is decisive for denying a match, that criterion must be applied equally to all clubs. 📌 SHOWS AND OTHER EVENTS The action also points out that the Maracanã hosts shows, religious gatherings, and events from other sports, including the installation of structures and occupancy of the field area. Vasco questions how the administration can reconcile these events with lawn preservation, yet considers it technically unfeasible to host a semifinal of CONMEBOL. According to the data presented in the action, at least seven extraordinary events unrelated to official football were held between 2025 and 09/30/2026. 📌 CONCESSION NOTICE Vasco cites item 3.4 of the Terms of Reference, which gives priority to football events from the official calendars of FIFA, CONMEBOL, CBF, and FERJ over other events. Vasco x Boca is an official semifinal of CONMEBOL. The action argues that there would be an "inversion of this priority" by accommodating shows and other events and denying the stadium for a match that, under the concession rules cited by the club, should have priority. The petition mentions "distortion of the concessionaire's obligations" and "violation of the equal treatment required by the Concession Notice." 📌 UNEQUAL TREATMENT Vasco summarizes its challenge in four points: • the lawn replacement would change the premise of accumulated wear; • Greenleaf's own planning would demonstrate that maintenance could be carried out between matches; • the calendar would show reduced intervals that have already been admitted for Flamengo and Fluminense; • other events are reconciled with the necessary care for field preservation. As a result, Vasco asserts that restrictions are being applied selectively. The action further cites clause 13.2 of the Concession Contract, which prohibits favoritism and unjustifiably different, discriminatory treatment, or "without technical criteria" that results in restricted access to the Complex. 📌 THE CONTRADICTION POINTED OUT BY VASCO Fla-Flu claims not to recognize the validity of the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2025. At the same time, according to Vasco, it uses the document itself—especially the provision for four matches conditioned on availability and operational conditions—to justify the denial. Vasco points out contradictory behavior and invokes the principle of good faith. 📌 PREVIOUS DECISION OF TJRJ The action also cites the Instrument Appeal No. 3023517-70.2026.8.19.0000. On that occasion, Justice Alexandre Freitas Câmara analyzed the discussion regarding the absence of Fla-Flu's signature on the Memorandum. The magistrate stated that Flamengo and Fluminense, members of the concessionaire, had signed the document and pointed out that disregarding it later could represent contradictory behavior contrary to good faith. 📌 RECOMMENDATION FROM BEPE The issue of public safety also appears as an argument for the use of the Maracanã. According to the action, BEPE (Specialized Battalion for Policing in Stadiums) recommended holding the match at the Maracanã due to the magnitude of the confrontation and the expected public turnout. Vasco uses this recommendation to argue that the Maracanã is not just a preference of the club. The petition points to the stadium as the option that best meets capacity, location, structure, security, and operational conditions to host the match against Boca. 📌 SÃO JANUÁRIO IS NOT AN OPTION Vasco also differentiates the situation from the previous process involving Vasco x Vitória, when it did not obtain a preliminary injunction to use the Maracanã. This time, according to the action, São Januário cannot host the semifinal. The South American Manual requires a minimum capacity of 30,000 spectators starting from the semifinals, while the petition indicates São Januário has approximately 21,880 seats. Vasco acknowledges the Nilton Santos Stadium as an alternative but argues that having another stadium does not resolve the issue brought to Justice: is there legitimate technical and contractual basis for Fla-Flu to deny Maracanã? 📌 WHAT VASCO SEEKS Vasco is seeking a preliminary injunction requiring Fla-Flu to make the Maracanã available for Vasco x Boca on 10/20 at 9:30 PM. The request includes the maximum ticket allocation corresponding to the authorized capacity, the use of necessary facilities for organizing the match, the implementation of a mosaic, and temporary installation of banners in the same manner allowed for the clubs that are members of the concessionaire. In case of non-compliance, Vasco requests a daily fine of R$ 1 million. Vasco must inform CONMEBOL by October 5 where it will hold the return match of the semifinal. (translated)

Now, believe me, beyond everything, there is a quality that I discovered in the way of questioning, of interacting, of prosecutor Civardi that excites me. Really. The tone. The timing. The manners. The measured choice of every word, precisely because he is able to give each word its weight. And not just any weight: the exact one. Because Civardi really seems to weigh the words. One by one. In front of such a mind, in my opinion, you have little chance. There is a passage during the interview with Sempio where he says something like this. I’m going from memory: “…he reports having found the Feltrinelli bookstore closed, inexplicably.” (Pause) “On August 13” (micro-pause) “Monday” (If you manage to recover that passage in the video, feel free to post it below). Because in my opinion, everything is there. There’s the skill of a man that you will hardly be able to displace. The same that I found in that question asked to Cassese: a question that asked nothing, it sentenced. Or in the way he managed those two minutes with General Garofano. That’s where you see what an extremely intelligent, cultured, prepared, and capable person can become over time. But above all, there is one thing I am convinced of. A way of speaking like that, such confidence, comes not only from preparation or intelligence. I believe it also comes from the pride of knowing that one can defend one’s honesty. #Garlasco INEXPLICABLY... (That adverb…😍) (translated)

Vasco is the club with the fewest injuries among the teams in Series A. So far, there have been 15 injury absences this season, with the players involved missing a total of 54 matches. The most serious case is that of Brenner, who has been dealing with a ligament injury in his left foot since the beginning of August. He is the one who missed the most games for Cruzmaltino in 2026, with 15 matches. Cuiabano is right behind him, with 13. (translated)

The series of social policies around Bolsa Família makes it much more than a income transfer program. It is social inclusion and reduction of inequality. It is school attendance and updated health records. It is access to qualification opportunities. It is fitting into the job market. The result is there: 85% of the formal job openings created since the beginning of our term are filled by Bolsa Família participants. Additionally, 5.6 million families left the program during this period due to an increase in their own income. Add to this the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded in the historical series for the quarter ending in August 2026, at 5.3%. Brazil is ready for more! (translated)

Attention. We are preparing for revelations of another mega corruption case: the current mayor of María la Baja (Bolívar), Ramiro González Mancilla, detained since August 2026, announces that he will confess and cooperate with justice. Many are trembling... Says his lawyer @GustavoMorenoRi This is the case of the Sierra Nevada Mixed Fund, which could be one of the largest and most sophisticated embezzlements of public resources in the country, surpassing $3.2 billion in royalties. The criminal network, according to the Prosecutor's Office, managed to direct the execution of 1,147 contracts for nearly 480 projects in 19 departments of the country, in infrastructure, education, drinking water, basic sanitation, health, and rural housing. The Prosecutor's Office identified that the fund's executives charged fees ranging from 30 to 60 million pesos per month. With the royalty money, they bought high-end vehicles, apartments, and luxury homes in Valledupar, and paid for a 30-day trip to the 2026 World Cup. (translated)

Flávio Bolsonaro sent an amendment for a non-existent company. In 2024, Flávio Bolsonaro allocated R$ 3.1 million for primary health care in the municipality of Mesquita (RJ), governed by PL. Of these funds, R$ 666,000 were paid to the Institute of Medicine and Project (IMP) in August 2025. In June of this year, the Federal Revenue Service classified the IMP as "non-existent in fact." According to a document from the agency, there are "reasons that evidence that the company was established for the purpose of tax fraud, including for the benefit of third-party companies." The IMP is under scrutiny from TCE-RJ. Only Mesquita signed contracts of over R$ 580 million with the IMP between 2019 and the end of 2024. Despite the volume of resources, the IMP has not had a website since 2021, the emails provided in the contracts do not work, and the phone registered with the Federal Revenue does not answer. Furthermore, the president of the IMP was an elderly person, a beneficiary of a social program, and lived for free, as reported by G1 in 2023 (uol). (translated)

In August, according to Istat data, employment in Italy saw an increase of 291,000 employed individuals, mainly among permanent employees, while unemployment rose to 6.2%. (translated)

Federal state-owned companies registered a record surplus in August Brazilian federal state-owned companies recorded a primary surplus of R$ 1.759 billion in August, according to data released this Wednesday (30) by the Central Bank. The result is the highest ever recorded for the month of August since the beginning of the historical series and also represents the first positive balance for federal state-owned companies in 2026. Adding federal, state, and municipal companies, the surplus of state-owned companies reached R$ 1.987 billion this month, the best result for August since 2006. State companies contributed R$ 220 million and municipal companies contributed R$ 7 million. (translated)

According to preliminary estimates from Istat, in September inflation in Italy rose to 4.2% year-on-year, up from 3.3% in August, reaching the highest level in the last three years. The increase is mainly linked to rising energy costs, which have driven up fuel and utility prices. (translated)

🚨 Now! Corinthians ends July with only R$ 8.9 million in cash and increases loans by R$ 140 million. • ACCOUNT AT THE LIMIT Timão ended July 2026 with R$ 8.9 million in cash, even after increasing its loans and financing by 56% since December 2025. Cash fell R$ 17 million compared to R$ 26 million at the end of 2025. Compared to July 2025, when there were R$ 14.9 million, the reduction was about 40%. Loans and financing reached R$ 390 million — R$ 140 million above the R$ 250 million accumulated by December. Between January and July of this year, the club recorded a DEFICIT of R$ 278.7 MILLION, R$ 200.8 million ABOVE the loss predicted in the budget. • REVENUE ANTICIPATION AND LACK OF CREDIT To maintain payments in 2026, Corinthians anticipated revenues. Part of the funds was allocated to salaries and image rights. The club also anticipated amounts from the master sponsorship. The CBF released funds to Corinthians during the season, but REJECTED A NEW REQUEST on September 11. August salaries were paid late after an advance from the sponsor. Despite the increase in loans, the club faces resistance from major banks in obtaining new credit assignments. 🗞️ @UOL | @FabioLazaro_ (translated)

A monarchical institution like the Supreme Court, made up of only 3 people, reverses what millions achieved in the streets on August 6. In a scandalous ruling, it upholds article 154 of DNU 70/23 which repeals the Land Law, a measure that had been declared unconstitutional following a request from veterans of the Malvinas. It seems that the courtiers did not receive the information that the admirer of Thatcher has now become a "Malvinero." A farce from those who pillage and hand over everything. Just as we did against the 2x1 in favor of the genocides, we must defeat them in the streets. (translated)

### EM LINHA COM O ESPERADO POR THE WISE, DÉFICIT DE CONTA CORRENTE DO BRASIL SOBE PARA US$ 5,1 BILHÕES EM AGOSTO. calma, gente, sempre tem como piorar. se lula for reeleito vocês conseguem destruir de vez o país. #Brasil #Economia #Lula

🚨 Contrato do Vasco com a Almirante prevê cobertura de eventuais déficits mesmo diante de uma possível perda de receitas com casas de apostas. O acordo com a empresa de Marcos Lamacchia estabelece que o investidor deverá cobrir eventuais descasamentos no fluxo de caixa da SAF, conforme as condições previstas no contrato. A cláusula ganha relevância após a Medida Provisória publicada pelo governo federal na última sexta-feira (25), que impôs novas restrições à exploração, oferta e publicidade de apostas de quota fixa e cassinos online no Brasil. O Vasco pode ser afetado pela medida, já que fechou em agosto um contrato de patrocínio máster com a Sportingbet, que poderia render até R$ 165 milhões até dezembro de 2027. Caso a SAF tenha redução de receitas ou enfrente problemas de liquidez que gerem um déficit no fluxo de caixa, o contrato com a Almirante prevê a obrigação de cobertura por parte do investidor, dentro dos termos acordados. 📰 @pedrocobalea_ #Vasco #Apostas #FutebolBrazil

Oggi, ancor più di ieri, la scoperta di luglio di @LuigiGrimaldi19 sull’Estathé acquista ancora più valore. Per mesi Luigi è stato aspramente criticato e deriso per tutto ciò che ha sempre sostenuto sul caso #Garlasco. Perché l’Estathé acquista ancora più valore ? Ve lo spiego. Ripercorriamo le date e intrecciamo i dati. Sappiamo che il 20 settembre arrivano due controanalisi negative. Nonostante ciò, questo dato non viene riportato alla PM Muscio. Così, il 24 settembre, Stasi viene fermato. Qualcuno pensa forse di averla fatta franca, ma non basta: il 28 settembre la giudice Pravon revoca il fermo per insussistenza di prove e rimette Alberto in libertà. Passano cinque giorni e arriviamo al 3 ottobre, giorno dell’ennesimo sopralluogo nella casa dei Poggi, al quale partecipa anche il generale Garofano. Il 3 ottobre è la prima volta in cui viene fotografata la spazzatura e, nella fotografia, si vede l’Estathé. Estathé che, però, scomparirà nella fotografia del successivo sopralluogo, quello del 5 dicembre 2007. Questo fatto viene messo nero su bianco dai consulenti Avato e Fabbri, i quali chiesero di SIGILLARE E REPERTARE il sacchetto della spazzatura. Richiesta che, però, non venne fatta. Infine arriviamo al 16 aprile 2008, quando, magicamente, nel sacchetto ricompare il famoso brick, accompagnato dalla domanda, pronunciata in sottofondo: «C’è l’Estathé?», proprio prima del repertamento generale. Ecco, se questa spazzatura è stata analizzata solo oggi, nel 2025, è perché, con la “denuncia” di Avato e Fabbri, si sarebbero potute scoprire sin da subito le anomalie relative a quei repertamenti. Anomalie che sembrano seguire un filo conduttore comune: INCASTRARE IN OGNI MODO ALBERTO. Prima con un interrogatorio di sette ore e mezza, per farlo crollare (13 agosto); poi con la cancellazione dell’alibi (14 agosto); quindi con l’impronta 33 (17 agosto e 5 settembre); poi con il sangue sui pedali (19, 20 e 24 settembre); infine con la spazzatura (3 ottobre 2007, 5 dicembre 2007 e 16 aprile 2008). E tralascio i CAPELLI NON REPERTATI (ictu oculi), la pedopornografia, le cartelle militari e tutto il resto. Voglio fare un invito a tutti: non chiamiamole più COINCIDENZE, non chiamiamole più SCIATTERIE, non chiamiamole più ANOMALIE, perché così finiremmo per giustificare cose che NON DEVONO essere giustificate. Da ieri possiamo chiamarle tranquillamente, perché ne abbiamo la conferma: DOLI. DEPISTAGGI. Tutto questo per incastrare un ragazzo di 24 anni. C’erano quasi riusciti. Ma PADRE TEMPO OPERA IN SILENZIO e, nel momento giusto, ha fatto sì che degli UOMINI DI BUONA VOLONTÀ, spinti da un senso profondo di verità e giustizia, facessero ciò che per vent’anni non era mai stato fatto.
