The judge of the Supreme Federal Court Gilmar Mendes suspended this Thursday (4) the decision of the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro that removed Ednaldo Rodrigues from the presidency of the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation). The leader will now be reinstated in office.
The magistrate concluded that the annulment of an agreement between the entity and the Federal Public Ministry of Rio de Janeiro, without a more in-depth analysis, exposed the CBF to serious consequences that could “affect the proper functioning of Brazilian football as a whole.”
By opting for the individual decision, the dean also accepted the argument that judicial intervention in the CBF could lead to sanctions from FIFA, which rejects third-party interference in the management of confederations and associations.
Ednaldo Rodrigues was removed from the presidency of the CBF on December 7 of last year. He came to the helm of the CBF after the suspension of his predecessor, Rogério Caboclo, who faced accusations of workplace harassment.
