In the Netflix documentary about the tragedy at Ninho do Urubu, released this Thursday (14), the mother of young Christian Esmério, the only one who did not close a deal with the Flamengo for the tragedy, explained why he refused to accept the club's offer.
“Each person decides in whatever way is viable. For me, closing an agreement with Flamengo will not turn the corner. Since 2019, what I have noticed is that Flamengo is constantly trying to hold third parties responsible for a responsibility that is theirs. It's not a financial issue, it's not a compensation issue. It's a matter of wanting justice. I do not accept that a defendant sits in the courtroom and decides what he will pay. Because the moment I accept what they want to give me, I am giving him the opportunity to decide what their sentence is”, explained Andréa Esmério.
CHRISTIAN’S FAMILY REFUSE AGREEMENT WITH FLAMENGO
Andréa and her ex-husband Cristiano, Cristian's father, together with the young man's brother, won compensation in the first instance of justice of around R$3 million from Flamengo. The club asked for clarification on the decision and must appeal not to pay.
COMPAINTS ABOUT FLAMENGO'S LEGAL DEPUTY
In the documentary, Cristiano complains in the way the legal vice-president of Flamengo, Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches, behaved at the conciliation hearing held in 2019 to try to reach an agreement with the victims' family.
< “When we go into the meeting, their legal deputy says: 'In 15 minutes I have to leave, because I have another meeting”. Wow, that ruined us. It was a totally inhumane thing. I even got excited, I slapped the table at the time, because I was very upset with the situation. I was angry, I was revolted, I had just lost my son, and had to go through a role like that that Flamengo was making me play. With everything we went through, with everything that happened, the loss of our children, the lack of information on the day of the accident, [the meeting] is where we woke up to life and saw that Flamengo didn't give a damn”, he states.
The documentary also shows a scene of Andréa and Cristiano meeting with a lawyer, who guarantees that Flamengo is responsible for the fire and victory in court is certain, and it is just a matter of defining the amount of compensation .
