This Thursday (4), Flamengo player Bruno Henrique was punished with 12 suspension games by the Superior Court of Justice. The decision was made amid involvement in manipulating sports results. In addition, he suffered a fine of $ 60,000.
In a match against Santos in 2023, Bruno made a foul carrying a yellow card. However, this would have benefited friends and family who bet on the athlete’s infraction, leading the accusation to light.
Flamengo can resort to the suspensive effect, appealing. With this, the athlete will be tried in the Full STJ. The possibility of requesting suspensive effect is guaranteed when the suspension is equal to or greater than two games, as determined by the law.
His brother, Wander Nunes, would be widely involved in the case. In addition to the duo, the STJD also denounced Claudinei Vitor Mosquet Bassan, Andryl Reis and Douglas Barcelos. They are also involved in the case Ludymilla Araújo Lima, Wander’s wife, and Poliana Ester Nunes Cardoso, Bruno Henrique’s cousin.
The athlete was acquitted of the prosecution based on Article 243 of the Sports Justice Code, which deals with intentional manipulation to harm a team. However, by four votes to one, the auditors concluded that the Flamengo striker violated sports ethics, framing his conduct in article 243-A.
