Flamengo lawyer reveals plan to clear Bruno Henrique after 12-match ban | OneFootball

— The trial had two phases, first the preliminary issue, in which the statute of limitations was raised, which in the defense's view is irremediable. This process shouldn't even have been judged, and this will be addressed in the appeal. And also regarding the merits, Flamengo obviously respects the decision of the sports court and will appeal it. I think the same argument that was used to justify the dismissal of article 243, that this was a tactical instruction—in other words, it was expected that Bruno Henrique would get a third yellow card—is the same argument that must be used to understand that this is not an unsportsmanlike or unethical attitude, because if it is part of the rules of the game, you can use it to your advantage. How can you say it is an illegal act to the point of condemning an athlete for it? — Assef began. — So, what would remain is only, at most, an alleged privileged information, which Flamengo believes did not occur, since any average football and betting fan would understand that Bruno Henrique would force that third yellow card. Flamengo believes he should be acquitted, and the process should not have existed due to the statute of limitations. And, at most, a penalty could be applied, as in the dissenting vote, under article 191, section three, for possible privileged information, which Flamengo also disagrees with, but would at least accept that understanding. (…) I think the arguments brought here (in the trial) were indeed positive; we could have had more complicated interpretations. And I even believe that what was brought here favors us in the discussion in the Full Court — he added.
