STJ to hear Bruno Henrique's appeal, Flamengo star awaits decision | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique is being investigated for alleged involvement with sports betting

The behind-the-scenes at Flamengo remain turbulent amid the situation involving forward Bruno Henrique. This is because the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) has scheduled for next Tuesday (02) the hearing of the new appeal from the red-and-black player, in the case in which he is a defendant for possible involvement with sports betting.

Bruno Henrique tried to annul the investigation in the case in which he is a defendant for receiving a yellow card in the match against Santos, in the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro. This is a regimental grievance, which carries a request for habeas corpus. The request was denied in a monocratic decision by Minister Joel Ilan Paciornik a month ago — pending review by the panel. The information comes from GE.

HAS THE DATE BEEN SET?

In addition, the Superior Sports Justice Court (STJD) has set the date for the trial of Bruno Henrique, from Flamengo, regarding alleged match-fixing in a Campeonato Brasileiro game. Thus, the STJD has scheduled the trial for September 4 of this year.

WHAT DOES BRUNO HENRIQUE'S DEFENSE SAY?

The defense of Bruno Henrique remains active in the process. According to the professionals, the Justice of the Federal District, where he is being criminally prosecuted, would not have jurisdiction to handle the case. Furthermore, the lawyers believe the situation should be taken to Federal Court. Therefore, all proceedings should be annulled.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Flamengo faced Santos at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in a match valid for the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro. On that occasion, Bruno Henrique received a yellow card at the end of the game. However, after a strong protest, the athlete received a second yellow and was sent off. As a result, the case began to be investigated.

Thus, Bruno Henrique was indicted in June by the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Federal District. In addition to the Flamengo player, the forward's brother, Wander Nunes Pinto, and seven more people were included in the process, which continues to be a topic behind the scenes.
