Both were still punished with a fine. The report had access to the sentence handed down this Monday (4). The duo can appeal the decision freely.

In addition to them, three other people were sentenced in the same sentence. Everyone will have to reimburse the club with the amounts obtained irregularly during the period. The value exceeds R$10 million.

The decision stems from the Public Ministry’s “Operation Rebote”, which investigates deviations from Inter’s coffers mainly during works carried out in the Beira-Rio Complex.

In contact with the report, Pedro Afatato’s defense informed that “he will appeal, as the sentence is excessive both in terms of sentence and conviction. The other manifestations will take place in the case files.” The report contacted Vitorio Píffero’s defense, who has not yet responded. The text will be updated as soon as a demonstration occurs.
