Bruno Henrique cleared by STJD, available for Flamengo | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique was judged on the afternoon of this Thursday (13th)

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) decided, this Thursday (13th), to acquit forward Bruno Henrique of Flamengo. Thus, after this afternoon’s session, the number 27 remains available for the rest of the season.

Bruno Henrique was acquitted under article 243-A, which deals with sports manipulation, and received only a fine of R$ 100,000 based on article 191, section III, of the CBJD. The decision was split: 6 to 4 in favor of the red-black striker.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE TRIAL?

Flamengo faced Santos at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, for the 2023 Brazilian Championship. At the end of the match, Bruno Henrique received a yellow card. For persisting in his complaints, the player was sent off by the referee.

Thus, Bruno Henrique was accused of alleged involvement with sports betting. The STJD even punished the player with a 12-match suspension. However, the defense of the number 27 managed to obtain a suspensive effect, allowing him to continue playing.

However, last Monday (10th), the STJD decided to postpone the trial of Bruno Henrique. This happened because auditor Marco Aurélio Choy requested to review the case, and the process had to be rescheduled for this Thursday (13th).

Therefore, this Thursday (13th), Bruno Henrique was acquitted by the STJD after a session that lasted about two hours. With the 6 to 4 decision, the player is available to continue playing, but will have to pay a fine of R$ 100,000.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

With Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo takes the field this Saturday (15th), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), against Sport. The match will be played at Arena de Pernambuco, valid for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship.
