A first‑instance 12‑game ban and a R$60,000 fine are under review, with prosecutors pressing for a tougher sanction that could be applied across competitions.

Overview

  • The hearing begins at 10 a.m. in Rio, where the tribunal’s Pleno will decide whether to uphold, increase, reduce, or overturn the September ruling under CBJD article 243‑A.
  • Bruno Henrique remains eligible to play under a suspensive effect until the Pleno issues its decision, and both sides can still appeal to international sports bodies such as CAS.
  • Prosecutors argue the player shared advance notice of receiving a booking with his brother before the Nov. 1, 2023 match against Santos, after three betting firms flagged abnormal wagers.
  • The first panel voted 4–1 to impose a 12‑match suspension and a R$60,000 fine on the forward, and it also sanctioned four amateur bettors, including his brother, with bans ranging from six to 14 games.
  • A separate criminal case remains active after a Federal Police indictment in April and a June complaint by the district prosecutor, with reported maximum penalties reaching 17 years and eight months in prison.
