The pressure on the leader of the Rio team has been constant since he took office in 2023, intensifying with the bad phase of the team. The leader was threatened with death in November 2024 and had his personal address released by a digital influencer.
Police received an anonymous complaint about planning a kidnapping. The information was passed on to Pedrinho, who would be the victim.
“The specialized is following all the planned protocols, including with regard to the alleged target”
On the 5th, Vasco was notified of the situation, and spoke:
“The Vasco da Gama Regatta Club confirms the existence of a report of kidnapping against President Pedrinho and informs that he is fully collaborating with the investigation conducted by the Civil Police.”
In a statement, Pedrinho said he was surprised by what happened and classified the episode as “unacceptable.” The former player stressed that the situation is even more serious, as it occurs shortly after receiving death threats and had his personal data exposed. Given this, the leader said he received guidance to reinforce his safety.
