The sporting legal system does not prohibit football clubs from giving gifts to referees. In fact, the practice is quite common in Brazilian football, but judges don’t usually report it in summary. According to the president of OAB-PR Sports Law Commission, Eduardo Vargas, the general regulation does not prevent this. However, he says that some issues of compliance and integrity justify the arbitration’s stance in this case, mainly due to suspicions of manipulation of results in the sport.

According to him, it is possible that there will be some punishment, but the team will present a defense. The penalty, in this case, would be a fine that could vary from R$100 to R$100 thousand.
