STJD Halts Bruno Henrique Appeal After Relator Seeks to Swap Ban for Fine

The case now awaits a resumed vote later this week with the striker still eligible to play under a suspensive ruling.

Overview

  • The plenary session was paused after auditor Marco Aurélio Choy requested a view, with voting expected to resume on Nov. 13 or 14 at 3 p.m. Brasília time.
  • Before the interruption, relator Sérgio Furtado voted to overturn the Article 243-A conviction and replace the 12-match ban with an Article 191 fine of up to R$100,000.
  • The court unanimously rejected the defense’s prescription claim, allowing the merits of the appeal to proceed.
  • Bruno Henrique remains available to Flamengo under an earlier suspensive effect, and any suspension would reach international events only if the CBF formally asks FIFA.
  • Palmeiras president Leila Pereira condemned the postponement as uneven compared with other cases, as criminal actions by the Federal Police and the MP-DF continue based on seized message exchanges.
