The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) convicted forward Bruno Henrique this Thursday (04) for involvement in a sports betting scheme. The trial, held in Rio de Janeiro, determined the suspension of the Flamengo player for 12 games, as he was accused of involvement in manipulating a yellow card during a Brasileirão 2023 match. The decision is subject to appeal.
After a long trial period, the auditors present at the STJD decreed the punishment for Bruno Henrique concerning Article 243-A. Thus, besides being away from the field for the estimated time, the entity also imposed a fine of R$ 60,000.
Initially, it was judged whether the case of Bruno Henrique would be dismissed or not. With the majority of auditors voting in favor, the case continued to be debated. Before the final conclusions, the Flamengo forward spoke out, declaring his innocence regarding the accusations.
In the final part, the STJD auditors 'sealed the deal' on the future of Bruno Henrique. Initially, the voters present at the session opted to acquit the Flamengo athlete regarding manipulating and deliberately harming a team.
However, the auditors, by 4 votes to 1, decided to punish Bruno Henrique for acting contrary to sports practice. Finally, on the other accusations, the red-black athlete also received acquittal from those present at the STJD.
WHAT WAS THE RESULT OF BRUNO HENRIQUE'S VOTE? AUDITOR 1: Conviction: Article 243-A – 12 games suspension and a fine of R$ 60,000. AUDITOR 2: Conviction: Article 191 (with article 65) – fine of R$ 100,000. AUDITOR 3: Conviction: Article 243-A – 12 games suspension and a fine of R$ 60,000. AUDITOR 4: Conviction: Article 243-A – 12 games suspension and a fine of R$ 60,000. AUDITOR 5: Conviction: Article 243-A – 12 games suspension and a fine of R$ 60,000.
In this situation, Bruno Henrique will be out of Flamengo's games. However, the tendency is for the red-black legal team to seek a suspensive effect. Until the effect occurs, however, the number 27 will not be available to Filipe Luís in the upcoming matches of the season.
