The CGU points to overpricing in contracts between the former player's Institute and the Department of Sport
|
0It seems that things are not easy for the former defender Flamengo Léo Moura. This is because an audit by the General Comptroller of the Union determined that the former player's NGO will have to reimburse the public coffers at least R$2.7 million for the overbilling of contracts with the Sports Secretariat during the Bolsonaro government.
Between June 2020 and April 2022, the Léo Moura Sports Institute received around R$45 million in agreements with the Sports Secretariat for the implementation of centers of the "Passaporte para a Vitória" project in Rio de Janeiro, Amapá, Pará and Acre.
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS FOR THE LÉO MOURA PROJECTTo date, the CGU has reviewed only 4 of the 16 agreements signed, which dealt with the implementation of the project in 32 cities in Rio and Amapá at a cost of R4 25.2 million. In these contracts, the CGU found an overpricing of R$ 778.9 thousand in the acquisition of materials, rentals and contracting of services and R$ 1.91 million in failure to prove the quantities of the items and in the acquisition of services, totaling R$ 2, 7 million.
Thus, the CGU recommended that the Ministry of Sports suspend payments related to Léo Moura and covers the NGO for reimbursement of R$ 2.7 million in as a result of overpricing.
OVERPRICING OF UP TO 90% ON BOOTS BY NGOsThe audit found overpricing of up to 90% on the purchase of thousands of football boots and shin guards. Already 80 bioimpedance scales were overpriced by more than 300%. The investigation also found that companies that participated in the disputes to supply the products did not exist or were not in the indicated locations.

0In the last round of the Libertadores group stage, Flamengo, now under the command of coach Tite, saw its long undefeated streak as home team come to an end. The 1-0 defeat marked the end of a run of 28 matches without losing at home in the competition. The negative result was a shock for the fans, mainly because it occurred at a crucial moment in the season and because of the expectations surrounding the team led by a renowned coach like Tite.
The last time Flamengo had been defeated at Maracanã by the Libertadores was in April 2019, when Peñarol beat the red-black team by the same score of 1-0. The current setback, therefore, brought back memories of that game, creating a feeling of déjà vu among fans . It is worth remembering that, at that time, Flamengo was in a moment of transition and seeking to consolidate itself as one of the powers of South American football.
With the arrival of Tite at the helm of Flamengo, the expectation was that the team would gain tactical consistency and competitiveness in important tournaments, such as the Libertadores itself. Tite, who has a respected CV, mainly for his work in the Brazilian national team, was hired with the mission of making Flamengo become dominant again both on the national and international scene.
The defeat at home, however , served as a cold water for part of the fans who expected a quiet victory. Their unbeaten record at home was seen as one of Flamengo's trump cards in continental competition, a guarantee of strength within their domains. By losing this status, the team will now need to deal with the pressure and doubts that arise from this result.

0After the 1-0 defeat to Peñarol, in the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals, coach Tite held a press conference at Maracanã. The team did not perform well and was booed by the fans. Despite the setback, the coach remained confident for the second leg, which will be held in Uruguay.
Regarding the boos coming from the stands, Tite admitted that the fans' dissatisfaction is understandable. "Of course this hurts, especially on the human side. But experience shows that, when you deliver a good production, the fan's reaction is proportional to the love they feel for the club", said the coach, highlighting the emotional bond between the fans and the Most Dear.
The coach was also asked about the difficulty of Mengão in achieving victories away from home in the Libertadores, since 2022. The last victory away from home came on August 31, 2022, against Vélez Sarsfield, with an impressive 4-0. "We have a great opportunity to break this sequence This is part of the history of football, and I believe we are fully capable of getting there and changing this scenario", replied Tite, showing optimism.
Tite guaranteed that the team will be more effective in Uruguay, promising a better performance. "Within two or three minutes, we score the goal, and from that point on, we work on the result. In some moments we were hasty, and the opposing goalkeeper also had merit. But I'm confident that we will create half of the opportunities and convert them into goals there. You can charge me later", said the coach, projecting a positive scenario for the second leg.
