The São Paulo Civil Police went public at a press conference to explain how the murder suspect's identification phases took place. Jonathan Messias Santos da Silva was arrested this Tuesday morning (25) in Rio de Janeiro on charges of the death of Gabriela Anelli Marchiano. The two were on the outskirts of Allianz Parque in São Paulo amidst confusion between Flamengo and Palmeiras fans on July 8. The two teams faced each other that day for the Brasileirão.


Deputy Ivalda Aleixo, from the Department of Homicide and Personal Protection (DHPP) explained that those responsible for the case had the help of facial recognition at the stadium to identify the suspect. "We went after the original images of the fans, we also got the images of Allianz Parque. All of this to individualize the conduct of those fans", said Ivalda Aleixo, adding: "He is the only person throwing bottles at that moment. He is very well identified." Based on this synchronization of images and sound, we were able to exclude other possibilities", said Desgualdo.


The police chief made it clear that she is sure about the case, pointing out the various ways that proved that he was responsible. "It was field work. We even did a virtual reconstruction of the facts with the images we had", completed Ivalda. However, Leonardo Felipe Xavier Santiago, unlike Jonathan Silva, does not have a beard. After a quick fact-finding Leonardo was released and the court decided to take more time analyzing the evidence.


Jonathan is under investigation on charges of murder. He is a teacher and is 33 years old. He lives in Rio de Janeiro with his wife and son.

Palmeiras confirmed this Friday (29) the signing of midfielder Andreas Pereira, 29 years old . The player signed a contract until December 2028 and will become a reinforcement for the squad led by Abel Ferreira for the rest of the season.


The transfer was agreed for €10 million (approximately R$63 million). The payment will be made in installments over four years, an agreement accepted by Fulham, the English club that held the player's rights. "Now I'm in a relationship with Brazil's greatest champion," Andreas declared in his first statement after the deal was official.


PLAYER PASSED TESTS


Before traveling, Andreas underwent medical examinations while still in England. He is expected to arrive in São Paulo in the coming days to join the Alviverde squad and begin work at the training center.

The midfielder made his debut in Brazilian football in 2021, when he played on loan at Mais Querido from Manchester United. Despite his strong performances, his time there was marked by a mistake that resulted in Palmeiras' second goal in the 2021 Copa Libertadores final, which the Alviverde team won 2-1 over the Rubro-Negro.


ANDREAS DELETES REFERENCES TO FLA

After the official announcement of his arrival at Palmeiras, Andreas drew attention for his social media stance. The player deleted the highlight he had on his profile about his time at Flamengo . Many fans interpreted the gesture as a definitive end to that cycle.

The Premier League transfer window closes next Monday (1st) and one of the most talked about names is Lucas Paquetá , revealed by Flamengo. After being cleared of gambling charges, the West Ham midfielder has once again attracted interest from English clubs. The player is having a great start to the season, with two goals in three appearances for the Hammers . According to journalist Cahê Mota, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Everton are monitoring the number 10's situation.


VALUE SET BY WEST HAM


West Ham has no intention of facilitating Paquetá's exit and has stipulated that it will only negotiate for a minimum of £50 million (R$367 million). Although a transfer is considered unlikely, behind-the-scenes talks are ongoing. Among those interested, Aston Villa appears to be the most willing to formalize an offer . Tottenham, which led the race ten days ago, has cooled its interest after investing R$379 million in the signing of Dutchman Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.


HIGHLIGHT ON THE FIELD

Despite West Ham's poor start to the Premier League season, with three defeats, Paquetá has stood out. He scored against Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and has actively participated in the team's attacking plays. This strong performance, combined with his acquittal by the English FA a month ago, has put the midfielder back in the spotlight . As a result, coach Carlo Ancelotti has called him up for Brazil's upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia.


RETURN TO FLAMENGO IS RULED OUT

The current situation is very different from a year ago. During the Copa América, Flamengo attempted to repatriate Paquetá, offering €15 million and assuming the risk of a possible suspension . However, the offer was immediately rejected by West Ham. With the acquittal and the market value of the player, any chance of a return to Brazil has been practically ruled out. According to Cahê Mota, both his career planning and the amount of money involved rule out a return to the Mais Querido at this time.

DECISION ON THE WAY

Before the window closes, Paquetá will still take to the field for West Ham. The team faces Nottingham Forest this Sunday (31) . Immediately after the match, the player will travel to Rio de Janeiro, where he will report to the national team on Monday (1st) — the day on which his future in English football will also be decided.

After a year and a half without making the due payments , Internacional was found guilty by the Brazilian Football Confederation's National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) of defaulting on the negotiations for Thiago Maia with Flamengo. Internacional had reported the case in November of last year.


SENTENCE DETAILS


The CNRD decision provides that Internacional must:


  • Pay 1,472,588.33 euros to the Flamengo , referring to breach of contract;
  • Pay R$51,211.99 in legal costs;
  • Pay the remaining installments stipulated in the contract , under penalty of new sanctions;
  • Pay R$467,000 in legal fees to Flamengo's legal representatives.
INTERNATIONAL CAN STILL APPEAL

Despite the conviction, the Rio Grande do Sul club still has the possibility of appealing the decision. However, at Flamengo , the assessment is that the CBF processes take excessively long , which will likely prolong the resolution of the case even further.


THE NEGOTIATION INVOLVING THIAGO MAIA

The agreement between the clubs was signed in February 2023 for €4 million, payable in ten installments. Internacional, however, failed to pay any of the installments. The attempt to transfer the player to Santos, even without having paid Flamengo, sparked outrage among the club's board , who blocked the negotiation. Thiago Maia arrived in São Paulo for medical examinations but ended up returning to Porto Alegre.

PUNISHMENT ON THE FIELD

Even before the conviction, Internacional had already felt the weight of the "default" on the field . In the round of 16 of the Libertadores in August, they faced Flamengo, with Thiago Maia on the field, but were defeated 3-0 on aggregate. Internacional advanced to the quarterfinals, leaving the Gauchos behind.
