The Rio Court of Justice held the second hearing of the Ninho Urubu tragedy case, in the criminal sphere, this Friday. The court determines arson when there is no intention to kill. Witnesses for the prosecution were heard. Among them, survivors and the parents of Christian Esmério, one of the victims.
- We received the call with surprise. A good surprise. At least there's some movement. But we will be happy if there are culprits - said Cristiano Esmério, father of the former goalkeeper. - Being able to be here today and be heard is a little hope they bring us - said Andreia de Oliveira, the mother.
In February, the Court ordered Flamengo to compensate Christian Esmério's family, in a lawsuit of the civil sphere.

At this Friday's hearing, witnesses were questioned about the facilities at the Ninho do Urubu CT. Two Civil Police experts were summoned, but defense lawyers claimed that the summoning of the two was done at the last minute and the judge granted a postponement of the hearing.
They are defendants for arson qualified by the results of death and serious injury to the former president of Flamengo, Eduardo Bandeira de Mello; Marcelo Sá, Flamengo engineer; Márcio Garotti, former financial director of Flamengo; Claudia Pereira Rodrigues, Weslley Gimenes, Danilo da Silva Duarte and Fabio Hilário da Silva, from NHJ (the company that supplied the containers); and Edson Colman da Silva, refrigeration technician.
Former Flamengo president Eduardo Bandeira de Mello attended the TJ-RJ, although he was not summoned. He attended the entire hearing, but preferred not to speak to the press at the end of the session.

"Obviously, we know the power of our opponent, but we also know that we've been through similar situations against important teams, and that the club, given its history, has risen to the occasion. We've always kept this in mind: yes, the challenge is difficult, but we can excel and represent the club well , regardless of the result. We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.

In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan .
