Bruno Cancels Planned First Meeting With Son After Claiming 'Setup'

Overview

• The former goalkeeper said he called off Thursday’s arranged encounter with 15-year-old Bruninho after being told to attend without his lawyer.
• Bruno alleged the meeting was a trap with hidden cameras and a well-known reporter, a claim the family’s representative denied.
• Family representative Maria do Carmo said the only conditions were the presence of Bruno, Bruninho, the boy’s grandmother Sônia, and herself, with no press allowed.
• Bruno’s defense stated he remains willing to meet under legally safe conditions and highlighted an existing court protective measure restricting his proximity to the boy.
• Bruno was convicted in 2013 over the death of Eliza Samúdio and freed in 2023, while Bruninho is a Botafogo U15 goalkeeper who has been called to Brazil’s U16 squad.
