Superior Sports Justice Tribunal (STJD) punished Bruno Henrique for leaking privileged information

The Superior Sports Justice Tribunal (STJD) acquitted, this Thursday (13), the athlete Bruno Henrique of accusations of sports manipulation. Thus, Flamengo celebrates the fact that it can count on the player for the remainder of the season.

“Idol of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo,” says the caption of the post made by the club as soon as the trial ended. In the image, the captain looks towards the stands at Maracanã while pointing to the red-and-black crest.

What is the context of the idol's trial?

The acquittal spares the forward from a 12-match suspension if he had been convicted. However, Bruno Henrique will pay a R$ 100,000 fine for having told his brother that he would get a card against Santos.

The Flamengo idol was being investigated for allegedly forcing a yellow card in the 2023 Brasileirão. Thus, he was accused of sports manipulation, which would fall under article 243-A.

So, the STJD punished him with a 12-match suspension, but Bruno Henrique's defense appealed and obtained a suspensive effect to keep him playing. In the new trial, however, it was understood that the player's case did not fit article 243-A.

Thus, auditor Marco Aurélio Choy requested a review, and the new trial was scheduled for this Thursday (13). Bruno Henrique escaped punishment under article 243-A, but did not avoid article 191, item III, which deals with leaking privileged information, for which the fine is R$ 100,000.

So, will Bruno Henrique play in Flamengo vs Sport?

Free from match suspension, Flamengo can count on Bruno Henrique this Saturday (15), against Sport, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). The match will take place at Arena de Pernambuco, for the 12th round of the Brasileirão.
