Flamengo's Bruno Henrique Under Investigation in Match-Fixing Scandal

Brazilian authorities probe the winger's alleged involvement in a betting scheme linked to a yellow card during a 2023 match.

Brazilian police are investigating Flamengo's Bruno Henrique for allegedly seeking a yellow card to influence betting outcomes in a match against Santos last year.
Authorities conducted 12 raids, including searches of Henrique's home and room at Flamengo's training ground, as part of a broader operation involving over 50 officers.
Suspicious bets were reportedly placed by Henrique's relatives on the day of the match, with accounts opened specifically to bet on him receiving a yellow card.
Flamengo has expressed full confidence in Henrique, emphasizing his presumption of innocence and confirming his continued participation in upcoming matches.
The investigation is part of a larger crackdown on sports betting scandals in Brazil, with a parliamentary commission set to question Henrique and other players.
