A judicial battle for Gasologista land, sold at auction by Flamengo for construction from your stadium, is far from over. The Union requested that the process be reversed to the Federal Court, alleging that the expropriation carried out by the city of Rio de Janeiro created a loss of more than R$1 billion to the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS), the sole shareholder of the Employment Fund. Porto Maravilha Real Estate Investment (FII PM), managed by Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF).
Caixa estimates a loss of R$1.084 billion with the expropriation. The bank estimates a value of R$240.5 million for the Gasometer land and R$843.3 million for the use of Cepacs (certificates of additional construction potential) that the City Hall had assigned to the land. The information is from the portal 'Mundo Rubro-Negro'
“Masterplan expected the consumption of up to 602 thousand Cepacs in the Gasometer, which at the average unit value of R$ 1,400.83, represents R$ 843, 3 million. Thus, the potential impact of the expropriation is R$1.084 billion, without considering the amount that the FII Porto Maravilha will receive as compensation for the expropriation. In this sense, the expropriation promoted has direct repercussions on the FGTS and in relation to all Brazilian workers linked to the aforementioned fund”, stated the General Attorney's Office of the Union in the petition it filed in the expropriation process, which is taking place in the State Court.
In the calculation, Caixa does not count on the R$ 138.2 million deposited in court by Flamengo for the city hall to pay the expropriation to the Bank. After a response made by CEF, the State Court ordered an inspection to be carried out on the land to assess a fair value for it. The deadline for completion is 15 days. Flamengo approved a bond insurance if you have to pay more than stipulated in the auction notice if the price is changed by the judiciary.
Despite the uncertainty, Flamengo and City Hall must sign this Friday (16) the promise of purchase and sale, which marks the beginning of the 18 months, foreseen in the auction notice, for the presentation of the executive project of the stadium, by the Club. To do this, an assessment will have to be made on the contamination of the land, which for years housed the Gasometer while it was still active, which made the soil in the area harmful to health without decontamination.
City Hall denies loss to Caixa
In leaked audio of Eduardo Paes in conversation with Flamengo partners, including former President Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, the Mayor guarantees that he did not cause any losses to the FII PM and even accused Caixa of fraud for artificially increasing the price of the land and making the sale unfeasible.
“I hope Caixa Econômica doesn't try to lie, because this mayor here isn't stupid or anything. And we have several purchase and sale contracts for the real estate fund at value. Caixa negotiated the land and CEPAC for the private sector, to try to sell it to build buildings. And then, the CEPAC price of the property was very balanced. The square meter of land there was very balanced. Soon, when Flamengo's story begins, Caixa throws the price per square meter to the moon, and lowers the price of CEPAC. They were the ones committing fraud. They were transforming an artificial square meter number there to try to overvalue and make Flamengo's purchase of the land unfeasible”, stated the mayor.
Caixa alleges misuse of purpose in the expropriation and requests that the auction be annulled. The process is now taking place in two actions, one in the Public Finance Court of the State Court and the other in the 2nd Court of the Federal Court. The dispute is expected to reach the Superior Court of Justice (STJ).

Three weeks ago, Juninho's representatives presented the club with two loan offers from Arab football . The board, however, rejected the proposals, making it clear that they would only agree to a permanent deal for the striker for a fair fee. Thus, despite previously being on the "expendable" list, the player remained on the roster and will be reused.
Despite the limited opportunities he's had on the pitch so far, Filipe Luís expresses confidence in Juninho. The coach noted that the striker has performed well in training and is maintaining good physical shape. He is expected to return to the squad and earn playing time in the Brazilian Championship. It's worth noting that his signing was approved by the coaching staff at the time.
Bruno Henrique's suspension is unlikely to result in any market movements. Mengão was already considering the possibility of losing the number 27 and believes the current squad offers sufficient alternatives. Filipe Luís believes Pedro has reached his peak physical form and can assume a greater offensive role , while Gonzalo Plata and Wallace Yan are options for the midfield. Furthermore, Juninho will be reinstated in the Brasileirão squad.
The Superior Court of Sports Justice sentenced Bruno Henrique this Thursday (29) to a 12-game suspension and the payment of a fine of R$60,000 . The decision is valid for national competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, but does not affect, for now, the Libertadores.
However, the case is expected to be referred to FIFA . If the governing body agrees to extend the ban, the striker will also be barred from international matches, increasing the impact of the punishment for Mengão.

Goalkeeper Bruno, a former Flamengo player , has returned to soccer, this time in an amateur tournament. After a period marked by one of the most controversial cases in Brazilian sports , the athlete is trying to find his place in a new arena.
The former goalkeeper's career gained notoriety both for his performance on the field and for the tragic episode involving the death of his ex-wife , Elisa Samudio, which culminated in his arrest and great national repercussion.
Rive Club recently officially announced the signing of Bruno for the 2025 Municipal de Alegre Championship. The board expressed enthusiasm for the new signing, citing the player's experience and technical ability.

In a message to fans, the goalkeeper expressed excitement and gratitude for the opportunity. " Hello, Alegre! Beautiful and wonderful city. Hello, Rive fan. I want to tell you that I'm committed to the Municipal Championship. Next Sunday I'll be there defending Rive's colors, and we'll begin our journey, " he declared.
In March 2013, Bruno was sentenced to 22 years and three months in prison for the murder of Eliza Samudio . The court found him guilty of triple homicide, kidnapping, and concealment of a corpse.
The former goalkeeper was granted habeas corpus in February 2017 , but returned to prison two months later, following a decision by the First Chamber of the Supreme Federal Court. In July 2019, he was granted the right to progress to a semi-open prison regime. He has been on parole since January 2023.
The club raised R$518.4 million in sales, spent R$309 million on signings and expects historic revenue of over R$1.7 billion by the end of the year.
