In a statement, Satees said the Brazilian ministry had acknowledged receipt of his complaint and would respond by Nov 28.
He said he had referred the matter to law enforcement in Brazil, Argentina, Spain, and the Netherlands after Malaysian police concluded there were no criminal elements to investigate.
A copy of the email sent by Satees urged the Brazilian authorities to investigate the naturalisation of its citizen, Joao Vitor Brandao Figueiredo, one of the seven players who represented Malaysia in the Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam.
“I kindly request your urgent attention and cooperation in investigating and prosecuting these offences under your country’s legal framework,” he said in the email sighted by FMT.
A separate digital document from the Brazilian ministry showed that Satees’s complaint was officially registered on Oct 29 under the country’s Fala.BR ombudsman system, with a response deadline set for Nov 28.
Satees had filed a report with the police against officials from the national registration department (JPN) and the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) over the alleged falsification of documents for the seven footballers.
Earlier this month, Fifa accused FAM of submitting doctored documents to field the seven players in an Asian Cup qualifier match.
A Fifa investigation found that falsified documents had been used to claim that each player had a grandparent born in Malaysia, although the report said they were actually born in Spain, Argentina, Brazil and the Netherlands.
FAM was fined 350,000 Swiss francs (about RM1.8 million), while each player was fined 2,000 Swiss francs (about RM10,560) and suspended for 12 months from all football-related activities. FAM has appealed the decision, with Fifa’s ruling expected later today.
Besides Figueiredo, the six other affected players were Gabriel Felipe Arrocha, Facundo Tomas Garces, Rodrigo Julian Holgado, Imanol Javier Machuca, Jon Irazabal Iraurgui and Hector Alejandro Hevel Serrano.
Satees said the authorities in the Netherlands had confirmed receiving his complaint earlier.
Satees said he referred the matter to various international authorities as he was disappointed with how the police had handled the issue.
“I have no other agenda except to ensure that those involved in the fraudulent acquisition of Malaysian citizenship are held accountable,” he said.
