Atlético-GO chief slams Bruno Henrique’s Copa do Brasil ban | OneFootball

What did Adson Batista, president of Atlético-GO, say about the Bruno Henrique case?

As soon as the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) ‘made its decision’ on the Bruno Henrique case, many people disagreed with the ruling. Amidst this, Adson Batista, president of Atlético-GO, was outraged by the punishment given to Flamengo’s number 27, Flamengo, and expressed doubts about the judgments of Brazil’s judiciary.

— There must be equality for everyone. Why is it different with Bruno Henrique, wearing the Flamengo jersey? There have been players who did the same thing and got one year, two years… Unfortunately, Brazil is the country of impunity. Many people say: “I believe in Justice.” Nowadays, I have serious doubts about the Judiciary –, he stated, before concluding:

— Who am I to judge, but I have an opinion as a citizen. The example we have from above is the worst possible. Unfortunately, that’s our country, and we will keep working honestly and always wanting the best. I still believe in a better future, in the institutions… That our parliaments, the Senate, can take control of actions and not leave everything in the hands of the STF –, Adson Batista concluded in an interview with ‘Band News’ radio.

WHAT HAPPENED TO BRUNO HENRIQUE, FROM FLAMENGO?

The forward Bruno Henrique was being tried for attempting to force a yellow card in a Flamengo match against Santos, in the Brasileirão 2023. However, last Thursday (04), the number 27 was acquitted on this charge.

This is because, in the court’s view, Bruno Henrique was not involved in fraud related to sports betting. However, the Flamengo forward was fined under Article 243-A, receiving a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$ 60,000.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Without Bruno Henrique, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (14) to face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match on YouTube. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) will broadcast the game.
