Bruno Henrique Responds About Possible Involvement in Sports Betting Case

Scheduled to take place in August, the trial of Bruno Henrique for alleged involvement in a sports betting scheme will be on September 1st. Therefore, the striker is free to play for Flamengo in both matches of the Libertadores, against Internacional, on August 13th and 20th.

The inquiry investigating Bruno Henrique is with the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), and the number 27 runs the risk of receiving up to two years suspension and a fine. However, the case will only be discussed after the matches with the team from Rio Grande do Sul, in the continental competition.

Bruno Henrique is accused alongside four amateur athletes: the player's brother from Flamengo, Wander Nunes Pinto Junior, Claudinei Vitor Mosquete Bassan, Andryl Sales Nascimento dos Reis, and Douglas Ribeiro Pina Barcelos (all friends of Wander). The case in question occurred in 2023.

HOW DID BRUNO HENRIQUE BECOME A SUBJECT IN THE STJD?

At the end of the Brasileirão 2023, Bruno Henrique received a yellow card (and later a red one) against Santos, at the Mané Garrincha Stadium. Three betting houses registered unusual movements for the number 27 to be warned. Thus, the player became a target of investigation.

In summary, on Bruno Henrique's cell phone, conversations with his brother about the possibility of receiving the card against Santos guide the situation. The topic resurfaced in 2025, almost two years after the occurrence, and the rubro-negro idol fights not to be punished and stay off the fields.

WHAT DOES BRUNO HENRIQUE'S DEFENSE SAY?

On the last day of August 2nd, the defense of Bruno Henrique, in contact with the Coluna do Fla news team, sent a note assuring the player's innocence. In addition, the athlete's representatives highlight that the case was even archived last year.

IS BRUNO HENRIQUE AVAILABLE FOR FLAMENGO?

Out of the game against Atlético-MG, due to load control, Bruno Henrique should return to the team this Saturday (09). The match will be against Mirassol, for the 19th and last round of the first half of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls from 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, worth staying in the lead of the competition for the Most Beloved.
