Palmeiras chief ‘cries’ to authorities over Bruno Henrique’s legal woes | OneFootball

Director Anderson Barros, from Palmeiras, tries to influence STJD and CBF to "do what is right"

During the fight for the Brasileirão and on the eve of the Libertadores final, Flamengo and Palmeiras continue their backstage duel. On Tuesday (11), director Anderson Barros attempted to influence certain institutions to, supposedly, not assist Flamengo.

— We believe that the championship will be decided on the field, and what we alert is for the institutions to be careful in their decisions and behaviors, so that there is no interference -, said the Palmeiras director, adding:

— When we question a specific judgment, it is because we understand that this care was neglected, and we cannot allow any interference in the normal course of the competition -, stated Anderson Barros to TNT Sports.

What is Anderson Barros talking about?

Bruno Henrique is a defendant for alleged sports manipulation at the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). Thus, president Leila Pereira lost her temper because a Palmeiras player received a two-match suspension while the Flamengo athlete still had a trial.

Will Palmeiras speak out more?

— But we believe, and Palmeiras has always made this very clear, that the STJD, the CBF, and all institutions that manage football will know that the most important thing is that we, as well as the fans, perceive that the championship is being decided within the four lines -, insisted Barros.

Did Flamengo ask for help from the STJD and CBF?

Bruno Henrique and Flamengo have continuously contributed to the investigations, as they understand that the athlete did not manipulate anything, but rather let privileged information leak. Therefore, auditor Marco Aurélio Choy requested to postpone and analyze the documents.

Thus, the STJD rescheduled the trial of Bruno Henrique for Thursday (13) starting at 3 PM (Brasília time). The next match for Flamengo is against Sport, on Saturday (15), in Pernambuco.
