From Marcio Braga\ To Armando Tadeu Camargo\ Commander of the Second Shock Police Battalion\

His Excellency Mr. José Serra\ C/C Governor of the State of São Paulo\

Rio de Janeiro, August 15, 2007

Through this document, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo takes the liberty of officially communicating that it was alerted by the Rio Military Police, which, in turn, was alerted by the São Paulo Military Police about threats made by members of organized fan groups of Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras.

According to them, revenge initiatives will be implemented against Flamengo fans, due to the death of a Palmeiras fan last year.

These initiatives, according to the information we have obtained, could even victimize the club's own delegation.

Therefore, we request measures that guarantee the lives and safeguard the physical integrity of our fans and the delegation.

Sincerely, Marcio Braga, President
