TJD-RJ removes three Carioca Serie C clubs during betting investigations
Rio de Janeiro’s TJD-RJ has temporarily removed Ceres FC, Mageense FC and Itaboraí Profute FC from Serie C of the Carioca Championship while it investigates possible match irregularities. The court acted after the Sports Justice Prosecutor’s Office requested the measure, citing Sportradar reports of atypical betting activity; it said the removals are precautionary, not convictions.
The decisions affect three clubs’ participation while investigations into betting-related match concerns continue.
