Lucas Paquetá warned despite being cleared in betting case | OneFootball

What happened to Lucas Paquetá, former Flamengo player?

Lucas Paquetá experienced 'turbulent' times behind the scenes in recent years of his career. This is because the midfielder was accused of alleged involvement with sports betting, but he has already been cleared of the case. However, the former Flamengo received a 'punishment' from the Football Association (FA) of England.

The FA's Independent Regulatory Commission punished Lucas Paquetá for two proven violations of Rule F3. After all, according to the entity, the midfielder did not cooperate with the investigations he was subject to regarding alleged involvement with sports betting.

What was the punishment applied to Paquetá?

It is worth noting, however, that the Regulatory Commission did not impose a fine on Lucas Paquetá. Thus, the midfielder received only a reprimand and a warning for his conduct in the case.

According to the Regulatory Commission's report, Paquetá did not answer questions and did not provide information requested by the FA for the investigation. However, the former Flamengo player denied the accusations of non-compliance.

What happened to Lucas Paquetá?

Lucas Paquetá was accused in May 2024 of alleged involvement in a betting scheme. After all, the English Federation accused the player of violating conduct rules regarding sports betting. According to the report, the midfielder manipulated results in four Premier League games.

The FA even requested the player's ban, but the Regulatory Commission concluded there was not enough evidence. Thus, with the decision announced on July 31, Paquetá returned to play normally and resumed his career with the case closed.

And Flamengo?

Meanwhile, Flamengo continues its preparation for the next game of the season. This Saturday (01), the Rubro-Negro faces Sport at 9 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 31st round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Sport game.
