Confidence or concern: Bruno Henrique’s defence reacts to STJD incident | OneFootball

Continuation of Bruno Henrique's trial to take place on Thursday (13)

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) began, this Monday (10), the trial of forward Bruno Henrique for alleged involvement in the disclosure of insider information for sports betting. The postponement of the conclusion to Thursday (13) left the player's defense excited due to a situation that occurred at the start of the case analysis.

Nine rapporteurs will vote on the fate of Bruno Henrique. The first, Sérgio Furtado Filho, believes that the number 27 did not harm Flamengo, does not deserve to be suspended, and should pay a fine of R$ 100,000. Thus, in contact with the Coluna do Fla team, the athlete's defense expressed confidence in a positive outcome at the end of the trial.

Although eight votes are still pending for the case's conclusion, the player's representatives assessed that the arguments were well supported. Furthermore, they reinforced the chances of a positive outcome, allowing Bruno Henrique to continue playing for the club as usual. The lawyers also maintain that the case should have been dismissed due to the statute of limitations, but state that the focus now is to close the case with a favorable decision for the athlete.

WHY DOES THE DEFENSE BELIEVE THE CASE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED?

The incident for which Bruno Henrique was tried took place at the end of 2023, when the forward received a yellow card against Santos in the Brasileirão. After an investigation, conversations were found between the player and family members about the need to force a third warning in order to 'play fair' in the final stretch of the competition.

Initially, Bruno Henrique was punished with a 12-game suspension and a fine. However, the player's defense obtained a suspensive effect. Now, there is anticipation for the end of the case next Thursday (13). Thus, the STJD scheduled the continuation of the trial to begin at 3 p.m. (Brasília time).
