Bruno Henrique: remember other players tried for betting scandals | OneFootball

Flamengo Forward Suspended for 12 Matches in the Brazilian Championship for Alleged Involvement in Sports Betting Case

The forward Bruno Henrique, from Flamengo, is going through a delicate moment off the pitch. This is because the red-and-black player has been sentenced to a 12-match suspension and a fine of R$ 60,000 by the Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) for alleged sports fraud. However, the athlete is neither the first to be tried for such a crime nor the one who received the harshest penalty.

For example, Ygor Catatau, former Vasco forward, is banned from football for his involvement in the case known as Penalidade Máxima, which resulted in the punishment of 16 players. Unlike Bruno Henrique, the athletes were tried based on three different articles, while the Flamengo idol answered for two.

Which other players were tried?

And Lucas Paquetá?

Lucas Paquetá will be acquitted, in August 2025, of the most serious charges of alleged involvement with sports betting. However, the midfielder was under investigation for violating Rule E5.1 of the Premier League, the English league.

And Bruno Henrique?

It is important to remember that Bruno Henrique is only suspended from matches in competitions organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Thus, in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, for example, which is organized by Conmebol, the number 27 will be available to coach Filipe Luís.

When does Flamengo play?

Without Bruno Henrique, Flamengo returns to the field on September 14 (Sunday) when they face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show behind-the-scenes coverage of the match, through YouTube, the website, and social media.
