Corinthians fans demand answers on youth academy bribery
Members of Corinthians' largest organized fan group confronted club officials today, demanding answers regarding alleged bribery in the youth academy. They are seeking clarification on accusations of illicit payments for player recruitment. The fan group visited the training center to address leaked audio recordings suggesting corruption within the youth program during Augusto Melo's administration. The club has yet to issue an official statement regarding the allegations or the fan's demands. This action follows the team's poor performance in the Brazilian Championship, leading to the coach's dismissal and calls for President Melo's impeachment. Former player Chicão denied any knowledge of the accusations.
