According to radio host Renan Moura, the Civil Police took a drastic measure by placing the investigation into the fight that occurred between Marcos Braz and Leandro Campos on the premises of Barra Shopping under secrecy. This decision left public opinion eager for information about the case, as it involves a prominent figure in the sporting scene. The defense of the fan involved in the confusion, in turn, is acting to seek transparency in the process. They plan to file an application with the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) in hopes of gaining access to the security camera footage, which is currently in the hands of delegate Ângelo Lages at the 16th Police Station (16ªDP).
< The decision to keep information about the case confidential generated an intense debate in society, with many questioning the need for such a measure. While some argue that the privacy of those involved must be preserved, others believe that transparency is fundamental, especially when public figures are involved in incidents like this.

They claim that the images can show details that are not being considered in the process and that are essential for their client's defense. Delegate Ângelo Lages, responsible for the investigation, remained discreet about the details of the case, stating only that he is following standard procedures and that all evidence will be carefully examined before any conclusion is presented.

However, the decision to maintain secrecy has fueled speculation and conspiracy theories regarding the case. Many believe that there is more than meets the eye in the fight between Marcos Braz and Leandro Campos, and that information is being hidden to protect powerful interests. As the investigation runs its course, the OAB has become a central point in the unfolding drama. Fan advocacy hopes that the organization can intervene and ensure that access to security camera footage is granted. The OAB, in turn, must carefully examine the application and consider the legal merits of the request.
Public opinion is divided regarding the outcome of this case. Some believe that the privacy of those involved must be respected, while others call for complete transparency. This incident at Barra Shopping serves as a reminder of how law and justice are complex issues, often involving conflicting interests and requiring a delicate balance between protecting privacy and seeking the truth.

Renato Augusto, Flamengo product: "The time has come to hang up my boots"
"The time has come to say goodbye. Or even a see you soon to football . It's time to turn to the other side of life, pay more attention to my children, and return to being a full-time father and husband. The time has come to hang up my boots," he declared in an interview with GE.
Now, the former player intends to dedicate more time to his wife, Fernanda, and his sons, Romeu, seven, and Mateo, two. The decision was motivated not only by the natural physical limitations of his age , but mainly by the desire to be more present in his family's life.
"It's really hard to actually say, 'I'm going to stop.' For 31 years, that's all I did. Since I was six years old, I've always been playing. I thought it would be easy, but it wasn't. What weighed most heavily was the desire to be closer to my family," he said.
Discovered in 2005, Renato Augusto wore the Sacred Mantle in 93 matches, scoring nine goals. In 2006, he won his first titles: the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Carioca, repeating the state title in 2007. In 2008, he transferred to Bayer Leverkusen in Germany in a €10 million deal, a fee that helped the club pay off debts and retain midfielder Ibson.
After five years in Europe, he returned to Brazil in 2013, but revealed that Flamengo showed no interest in him. So, he moved on to Corinthians, where he became an idol , and later played for Beijing Guoan in China. At the end of his career, he played for Corinthians again and ended his career at Fluminense.
