According to the public prosecutor, on the 27th and 28 October 2022, in the state of São Paulo and the municipality of Recife, Matheus Gomes would have promised, alongside the bet handlers Bruno Lopes de Moura, Ícaro Fernando Calixto dos Santos and Victor Yamasaki Fernandes, give illicit financial advantage to the match between Sport Recife and Operário. Matheus had initiated the manipulation and acted as intermediary between those involved. The agreement was for player Fernando Neto (Operário Ferroviário) to receive a red card - which he did not achieve, although, according to investigators, he tried. The promise was to pay R$ 500,000, with R$40,000 paid to Fernando Neto.
