Bruno Henrique’s representatives speak out on Flamengo star’s legal case | OneFootball

Court Rejects Most of the Charges Against Bruno Henrique, Says His Office

The Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories (TJDFT) made the Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique a defendant in a sports fraud case last Friday (25). Following this, on Saturday (26), the player's defense team sent an official note to the reporting team of Coluna do Fla.

In the note, the legal office informs that the Court rejected most of the charges presented by the Public Ministry. Thus, only one of the points of the complaint, related to the alleged manipulation of sports betting results, remains under analysis.

WHAT DOES THE OFFICIAL NOTE SAY?

“Official note from Bruno Henrique's office, Flamengo striker:

The Judiciary rejected almost all of the complaint filed by the Public Ministry. The remaining part will be promptly clarified, in order to lead to its archiving.

Bruno Henrique continues to trust in Justice, while maintaining focus and total dedication to his life as a football player, certain that he has never taken part in any sports betting scheme.”

WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE DECISION THAT MADE BRUNO HENRIQUE A DEFENDANT?

The accusation states that Bruno Henrique intentionally caused a yellow card during the match between Flamengo and Santos, valid for the second round of the Brazilian Championship 2023 in Brasília. As a consequence, the complaint indicates that this action benefited a group of bettors, including the player's brother, Wander, who bet on the prediction that the number 27 would be warned.

WHEN DID THE CASE HAPPEN?

On November 1, 2023, the Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília hosted the match. Soteldo dribbled past Bruno Henrique during the game. Then, the Flamengo player committed a foul and complained to the referee. Finally, the judge applied the second yellow card and expelled the player in the final minutes.

WILL BRUNO HENRIQUE PLAY IN THE NEXT FLAMENGO MATCH?

While Bruno Henrique deals with the court case, the striker remains at the disposal of Flamengo for the next commitments of the season. With the number 27 ready to play, the red-black squad maintains its focus on the upcoming matches. This Sunday (27), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), Filipe Luís' team faces Atlético-MG for the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship.
