Pantaleão takes over as vice-president of Corinthians' Deliberative Council | OneFootball

Leonardo Pantaleão was elected this Monday, in a vote at Parque São Jorge, as the new vice-president of the Deliberative Council of Corinthians until the end of 2026. Consequently, he also assumes the presidency of the CD's Ethics Committee.

Pantaleão, who served as Superintendent of Legal Affairs under Osmar Stabile's management, won the indirect elections against Rodrigo Bittar and Peterson Aiello. He received 119 votes, compared to 64 for Bittar and 75 for Peterson. There were also four blank votes and two null votes.

The vice-presidency of the Corinthians Deliberative Council had been vacant since the resignation of Roberson de Medeiros, known as Dunga, at the beginning of the month. He left the position for health reasons.

Once elected, Leonardo Pantaleão will leave his position in the executive board. Soon, Osmar Stabile, who will be the club president until the end of 2026, will choose a new professional to lead the Legal Department.

Pantaleão will now be responsible for leading internal investigations and suggesting consequences regarding the cases on the Ethics Committee's agenda. Currently, there are about 26 cases under investigation by the body, including the expenses of former president Andrés Sanchez with the club's corporate card and requests for the expulsion of the ousted president Augusto Melo.

The case of the invoices and receipts for alleged personal expenses during Duilio Monteiro Alves's management, which have not yet been sent to Ethics, may also be investigated if the body receives requests for such.

Pantaleão's goal is to 'clear' all cases and deliberate the respective punishments, if necessary, by the end of 2026. The trend is that he will also be appointed as coordinator of the statute reform, one of the priorities of Romeu Tuma Júnior, president of the Deliberative Council.
