Thus, if found guilty, Bruno Henrique could face up to two years of suspension. This is because the accumulated penalties for the Flamengo forward range from 360 to 720 days off the field, suspension of 12 to 24 matches, and three fines from R$ 100 to R$ 100,000.

Why is Bruno Henrique being judged?

In the final stretch of the Brasileirão 2023, Bruno Henrique received a yellow card in the last minutes of the game against Santos, in Brasília. Subsequently, the athlete would receive a red card. Three betting houses suspected unusual investments for the forward's warning. Then, the situation became complicated.

Thus, the Civil Police seized Bruno Henrique's phone during an operation, and conversations between the player and his brother about the card before the game were revealed. Despite this, the athlete denies having forced the yellow card. At the time, the number 27 was at risk of suspension and would not play the next match after the warning.

What is the situation of the Flamengo forward?

Wearing the Flamengo jersey since 2019, Bruno Henrique has a valid contract with Flamengo until December 2026. In the 2025 season, the forward played in 40 matches, scoring nine goals and providing two assists. Thus, if the player receives the maximum penalty, the suspension would compromise the athlete's career progression.
