Part 3/9:
Bertolutti’s engagement with Corinthians dates back to 2017, when he loaned the club 6 million Reais during the presidency of Roberto de Andrade. Although Corinthians made partial repayments, totaling about 1.3 million, the bulk of the debt remained unpaid. By 2021, Corinthians recognized a total outstanding debt of approximately 16.2 million Reais to Bertolutti.
However, this debt has swelled as time elapsed without proper payment. Bertolutti's legal actions reflect this reality, as he now demands over 24.5 million Reais. Such numbers raise questions about both the management practices of the club and its historical dealings with Bertolutti, which always involved structured loans and deferred payments.
