“The National Association of Football Referees has just requested the urgent stoppage of the Brazilian Championship due to our CPI yesterday, from what we declared in the secret meeting with John Textor, when we heard everything, we knew everything. We have a report in our hands of 180 pages, We have recordings, we have videos. We will obey the secrecy of Justice, but we could not fail to communicate something to the Brazilian press and the football country”, said Kajuru.
“What is the reason for the request (to stop the Brazilian Championship)? This is what was reported about the VAR, which journalistically I love to say ‘VAR will catch you’, because with five cameras they cannot respect the refereeing in the Brazilian Championship. This It’s very serious. I think the National Association of Referees is absolutely right, to paralyze this championship, for our investigation to continue with the full support of the Federal Police, the Attorney General’s Office and for us to unmask everything, to show the truth of this scandal. is the greatest in the history of Brazilian football. And, consequently, we can once again see our greatest passion having credibility”, he added.
Anaf calls for the Brasileirão to be stopped “before they turn the VAR into a police case”. Furthermore, the president of the association states that referees come to him “dissatisfied and there is already a large group that wishes, in protest to what is happening, to interrupt the Brazilian Championship in the next rounds”.
