Bruno Henrique faces longer ban after conviction | OneFootball

Judged and convicted in the first instance under the accusation of benefiting gamblers, Bruno Henrique may have his sentence aggravated. The Prosecutor's Office of the STJD (Superior Court of Sports Justice) has appealed and requested an increase in the penalty for the Flamengo striker. The information is from GE.

In the first trial, Bruno Henrique was punished with 12 match suspensions, in addition to a fine of R$ 60,000. The sanction is as a result of the striker's conviction under Article 243-A, which consists of influencing the match result, violating sports ethics. At this moment, the player is free to play due to a suspensive effect.

However, the Prosecutor's Office requests a review of Bruno Henrique's acquittal under Article 243 (acting deliberately in a manner detrimental to the team he defends). It alleges that the striker benefited by warning his brother that he would receive a yellow card and that he also harmed the club with the action, as it devalues the player's pass.

During the trial, the defense argued that the card the athlete had supposedly forced would be beneficial to Flamengo, since, in this way, the player would serve a suspension against Fortaleza and would be available for the duel against Palmeiras in that edition of the Brasileirão. It was also said that the club had even asked Bruno Henrique to take the card.

Remember the case

The case dates back to November 2023, when Flamengo was defeated by Santos 2 to 1, in Brasília, in a match of the Brazilian Championship.

The rubro-negro striker received a yellow card for a foul and then another for insulting the referee, which resulted in his expulsion.

The STJD Prosecutor's Office charged the player under articles 243, §1º, Art. 243-A. Articles 184 and 191, paragraph III, as well as article 65 (paragraphs II, III and V) of the CBF's General Competition Regulations were also cited.
