The anguish of Bruno Henrique is over! This Thursday (13th), the forward went through a trial at the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) and will not be suspended, but will have to pay a fine of R$ 100,000. BH's agent, Dênis Ricardo, detailed how the number 27 reacted after the decision.
— I spoke with him, he is very happy with the result. We had a lot of faith in the seriousness of the Court, and we saw this seriousness being applied. Speaking on behalf of Bruno, he is very satisfied, motivated, honored —, Dênis began.
— He came in person (on Monday), today (Thursday) he was online as well. We hope this serves as a lesson for all of us to observe everything that happened and to congratulate the result and the Court for the way the case was evaluated —, added the representative.
The lawyer for Flamengo, Michel Asseff Filho, also spoke about the case. The club's representative also celebrated the result and made a point of ‘scolding’ Bruno Henrique. The defense of Mengão stated that the club frequently conducts awareness actions with the athletes.
— I believe that the analysis regarding the fact, what actually happened, was fundamental to differentiate this case of Bruno from the Maximum Penalty Operation case. In other words, what happened here was something completely different and, therefore, the application of article 243 or 243A, which has a very specific provision and does not fit the fact that occurred with Bruno Henrique, would not be appropriate. I think the deep analysis of the fact was what ended up resulting in the application of article 191 and rejecting any possibility of suspending the athlete —, explained the lawyer, before being asked about who will pay the R$ 100,000. — I think the athlete and Flamengo have to discuss this issue, but, in reality, issues like this the club enters this defense because it understands that, in reality, the fact itself should be treated differently. Especially because the club understood that it was not harmed in the incident with the controversial one —, he explained.
— Decisions like this, we shouldn't even be here. That's the truth. Flamengo understands that athletes need to be careful, that's what we need in this current world of betting, we need to be careful. Every year, we present to the athletes everything that should be avoided, provide the necessary teachings, and I think that's how the football world today has to deal with this very serious issue. Betting has already become a reality —, concluded Asseff.
Therefore, without suspension, Bruno Henrique is cleared to face Sport this Saturday (15th), at Arena de Pernambuco, in a delayed match of the 12th round. Thus, the game kicks off at 6:30 PM (Brasília time). In other words, with full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
