Bruno Henrique, Flamengo striker, faces fraud charges | OneFootball

This Thursday, the Federal District Court accepted the appeal filed by the Special Action Group to Combat Organized Crime (Gaeco) of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Federal District and Territories (MPDFT), against Bruno Henrique. Now, the Flamengo forward and eight other accused individuals are being charged with the crime of fraud, related to a sports betting scheme.

According to the complaint, the player allegedly acted deliberately to receive a yellow card during the match between Rubro-Negro and Santos, held on November 1, 2023, in Brasília. The intention was to benefit bets placed by the group on online platforms.

The investigation revealed an unusual volume of bets, with a concentration of wagers around the athlete's warning, many of which were placed by newly created accounts, some originating from Belo Horizonte, Bruno Henrique's hometown. These elements were compiled in a technical alert, which supported the filing of the complaint by Gaeco.

In July, the DF Court had already received the MPDFT's complaint and made the athlete a defendant for sports fraud. However, with the acceptance of the appeal this Thursday, in addition to sports fraud, the criminal action for fraud is also proceeding in the same context.
