STJD Fines Flamengo’s Bruno Henrique R$100,000 and Imposes No Suspension

By majority vote, the STJD Pleno applied Article 191 and set a R$100,000 penalty, declining to suspend the forward. Bruno Henrique remains eligible to play for Flamengo after the ruling, which followed a paused session earlier in the week. The decision overturns a first‑instance sentence from September that had imposed 12 matches and a R$60,000 fine under a manipulation charge. Authorities say betting alerts and messages involving the player and his brother underpinned the accusations; PF indicted him in April and the MP‑DF filed charges in June. Further appeals within sports justice or to the Court of Arbitration for Sport are possible, and the separate criminal case continues; the fine equals about 0.0067% of Flamengo’s projected 2025 revenue.
