The suspension is a result of a confrontation between Vasco directors and the match officials during the Copa do Brasil quarter-final match against Vitória. According to the STJD's súmula, the directors were involved in a heated exchange with the referees, with Felipe Loureiro and Admar Lopes attempting to approach the officials despite being blocked by police.
Globo Esporte Futebol reports that the Vasco directors were also involved in the arremessos of copos da torcida, with objects being thrown at the referees. The club has been fined R$ 20,000 for this incident.
The suspension is a significant blow to the Vasco directors, who will now be unable to participate in the club's activities for 15 days. The club's response to the suspension is not yet known.
