Flamengo celebrate Bruno Henrique’s acquittal, take a swipe at rivals

Flavio Willeman commented on Bruno Henrique's trial right after the session

Bruno Henrique was acquitted this Thursday (13) during a trial at the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), with a score of 6 to 4. After the session, Flavio Willeman, vice-president of Flamengo, celebrated the result and praised the work of the Justice system.

— On behalf of Flamengo, I want to thank the independence and autonomy of Brazil's Sports Justice, which plays an extremely important role in conducting Brazilian sports, not bowing to external pressures to instruct and carry out its judgments — said Flavio Willeman, vice-president of Flamengo.

— I expressed myself this way when Bruno Henrique was convicted in the first instance, and I do so again: a court decision, as every law student learns, must be complied with. Flamengo proceeded this way when it was defeated in the first instance, and I say that I am not 100% satisfied with the judgment because the athlete was still punished — he concluded.

HOW WAS THE VOTING AT STJD?

Bruno Henrique participated in the STJD trial in Rio de Janeiro online. The body acquitted the athlete of the 12-game suspension after a 6 to 4 vote. On the other hand, the body imposed a fine of R$ 100,000 on the red-black striker.

WHAT WAS THE EXTERNAL PRESSURE ON THE VOTING?

Part of the press and other Brazilian football clubs commented on the matter. Some journalists criticized the possibility of Bruno Henrique's acquittal. Finally, officials commented on the topic, claiming that the athlete should be punished.
