Bruno Henrique was suspended for 12 games by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) after a possible involvement with sports betting. With the punishment, the case gained national repercussion. Therefore, Cicinho, former Brazilian National Team full-back, sent a message to the Flamengo striker.
— I believe that the story is not over yet and that it serves as a lesson for Bruno Henrique. In addition, the conversations with his brother need to be very intimate. Unfortunately, he (Bruno Henrique) had the unfortunate idea of involving money —, started Cicinho.
"Therefore, you need to be careful with the family and give another vision so that this does not happen again. The penalty was not fair precisely because of the messages on the cell phone", concluded the former full-back of the Brazilian National Team and Real Madrid (ESP), during the 'Jogo Aberto' program this Friday (05).
Bruno Henrique was investigated and indicted due to a possible involvement with sports betting. On the occasion, the Flamengo striker received a yellow card against Santos, in 2023, at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília. Soon after, the player was sent off for insisting on exaggerated complaints.
Therefore, the STJD judged the case last Thursday (04). Thus, Bruno Henrique was suspended for 12 games in competitions of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), such as the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil. In addition, the athlete will have to pay a fine of R$ 60 thousand.
Despite being suspended for 12 games in national competitions, Bruno Henrique is available to help Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores. Thus, the striker will participate in the clash against Estudiantes (ARG), for the quarterfinals of the competition.
Flamengo takes the field against Estudiantes on the 18th of this month, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the first leg of the quarterfinals. Thus, the Coluna do Fla brings all the information before and after the match in Rio de Janeiro.
