Bruno Henrique escapes ban but fined by STJD in match-fixing case | OneFootball

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) decided to only fine Bruno Henrique, forward for Flamengo, after the trial held this Thursday afternoon, in the case of match-fixing. Thus, the player is cleared to play.

The athlete was therefore acquitted under Article 243-A of the CBJD (Brazilian Code of Sports Justice), which refers to “acting contrary to sports ethics, with the aim of influencing the outcome of a match, event, or equivalent.” The penalty was related to Article 191, which concerns “failing to comply with, or hindering the compliance of, general or special competition regulations,” with a fine of R$ 100,000.

Bruno Henrique Case

Bruno Henrique was accused of deliberately getting a yellow card in a match against Santos, at Mané Garrincha, valid for the 2023 Brasileirão, allegedly to benefit bettors. In September, the STJD had sentenced the player to a 12-match suspension and a fine of R$ 60,000.

However, Flamengo filed for a suspensive effect, and since then, the athlete has been playing normally. The STJD had begun judging last Monday, but the session was postponed after auditor Marco Aurélio Choy requested to review the case, a term used when a tribunal member asks for more time to analyze the case before casting their vote.

Flamengo's Situation in the Season

Flamengo is still competing for two titles. The Rubro-Negro is the runner-up in the Brazilian Championship, with 68 points, tied with the leader Palmeiras. The São Paulo team leads the tournament by tiebreaker criteria. The team led by Filipe Luís is also preparing to play the Libertadores final against Palmeiras.

The continental tournament's decision is scheduled to take place on November 29, at the Estadio Monumental U, in Lima, Peru.
