STJD sets new date for Bruno Henrique’s appeal, Flamengo await decision | OneFootball

The Superior Sports Justice Tribunal (STJD) announced this Tuesday the date and time for the hearing of Bruno Henrique’s appeal, from Flamengo. The forward will be judged by the Full Court next Monday, November 10, in Rio de Janeiro. He was sentenced to a 12-match suspension (only for the Brazilian Championship) for involvement in illegal sports betting.

After the sentence, given on September 4, Bruno Henrique’s defense sought an appeal for the athlete. Since the 13th, the STJD granted a suspensive effect so that the player could return to play for Flamengo.

The hearing was scheduled for last Thursday, but ended up being postponed. The STJD did not disclose the reason, but the possible cause was the massive operation by the Civil Police that left 115 dead in Rio de Janeiro.

Bruno Henrique Case

Bruno Henrique was convicted for deliberately getting a yellow card in a match against Santos, at Mané Garrincha Stadium, during the 2023 Brazilian Championship. The forward was charged under two articles (Article 243 and 243-A), but was acquitted of one. In the other, he was sentenced to a 12-match suspension and a fine of R$ 60,000.

Besides Bruno Henrique, other people were involved in the case. His brother Wander was punished with the same 12-match suspension. Additionally, his friend Claudinei Vitor Mosquete Bassan was suspended for seven matches, while Andryl Sales Nascimento dos Reis and Douglas Ribeiro Pina Barcelos received six-match suspensions.

Flamengo’s Next Match

The Rubro-Negro returns to the pitch this Wednesday, against São Paulo, for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match kicks off at Vila Belmiro at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

The team is currently in second place in the competition, with 64 points — just one less than Palmeiras, the current leader.
