Flamengo continues to have a turbulent backstage, and this Friday (01), the situation involving Bruno Henrique had yet another development. The player was charged by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) for match-fixing, accused of deliberately forcing a yellow card in a game against Santos in 2023.

According to the portal ‘UOL’, Bruno Henrique was indicted by the STJD Prosecutor’s Office under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD). The first is article 243, paragraph 1. Thus, the prescribed punishment is a suspension of 360 to 720 days.

Finally, the second is article 243-A, which deals with “acting in a manner contrary to sports ethics, with the intention of influencing the outcome of a match, event, or equivalent.” Therefore, the punishment for this situation ranges from 12 to 24 matches of suspension.

WHAT DID BRUNO HENRIQUE SAY?

The Coluna do Fla team contacted Bruno Henrique’s representatives soon after the situation came to light. In this way, professionals close to the Flamengo player stated that they will not comment on the matter for now.

WHEN DID IT HAPPEN?

The situation occurred in the match between Flamengo and Santos, at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, valid for the 2023 Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, Soteldo dribbled past Bruno Henrique, who committed a foul. As a result, the number 27 complained to the referee. However, the Mengão player persisted and received a second yellow card, being sent off in the final minutes of the match in Brasília.
