Bruno Henrique case: STJD appeals to extend Flamengo striker’s ban | OneFootball

The STJD Prosecutor's Office requests that Article 243 be retried by the sports tribunal

Even after being tried and convicted by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), the case of Bruno Henrique continues to cause a stir. On Wednesday (24), the STJD Prosecutor's Office filed an appeal to increase the penalty for the red-black striker.

The Sports Justice tried and convicted Bruno Henrique, on September 4, under Article 243-A (acting in a manner contrary to sports ethics, with the aim of influencing the result of a match). Thus, the striker received a 12-game suspension, in addition to a fine of R$ 60,000.

The striker also answered for Article 243. The same refers to acting deliberately in a way that is detrimental to the team he defends. However, Bruno Henrique was acquitted, since the instruction to take a yellow card came from Flamengo.

What is the STJD's appeal?

The Prosecutor's Office, however, requests that Article 243 be reconsidered by the sports tribunal. Therefore, if the STJD considers Bruno Henrique guilty also in this item, the Flamengo player could be suspended from football for up to two years.

Can Bruno Henrique play for Flamengo?

Despite having received a 12-game suspension, Bruno Henrique is authorized to take the field for Flamengo in any competition. This is because, Mengo filed a suspensive effect in court in order to release the striker.

Thus, as the request from Flamengo was accepted, Bruno Henrique remains available to Filipe Luís for the next Mengão games. At this moment, the number 27 is awaiting a new trial for review of the penalties.

What is Flamengo's next game?

With Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo and Estudiantes face off this Thursday (25), for the return of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. Thus, the spot in the semifinals will be decided from 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium.

Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the site and social networks. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) broadcast the Flamengo x Estudiantes game.
