Check out the full note from EDUARDO BANDEIRA DE MELLO:

Despite what some believe, the flamingo has no owner. What the group I’ve been part of has done to change the direction of the club in 6 years of work seems to bother some even today. The accused tortured the club’s statutes to find a way to get rid of Flamengo’s membership and the electoral process.

In a politically motivated operation, conducted on the basis of vices and arbitrariness, and without any technical or legal rigor, I was punished for the offense of expressing an opinion. I am proud to be on the other side of them. I will appeal the decision and am sure I will be in Javea in December to vote for my candidate.

Throughout the 125 years of Flamengo’s victorious history, field victories have never helped mask petty situations and attempts to restrict freedom within the club. To the thousands of people who have shown their solidarity with me in one way or another over the past few days, I leave here my deepest thanks. Flamingo belongs to all of us.
