STJD Postpones Bruno Henrique Hearing After Rio Security Turmoil

Overview

• The sports court canceled all sessions scheduled for this week and has not set a new date, with the player's defense officially notified of the postponement.
• Reports attribute the suspension of sessions to the public‑security situation in Rio de Janeiro following a large police operation in the Alemão and Penha complexes.
• Bruno Henrique continues to play under effect suspensivo after a first‑instance ruling on September 4 imposed a 12‑game suspension in the Brasileirão and a fine of about R$60,000.
• The sanction currently applies only to domestic league matches, so his eligibility for continental fixtures such as the Libertadores is unchanged unless exceptional measures are taken.
• The case stems from allegations that he told his brother he would receive a yellow card in a 2023 match against Santos, which prosecutors say led to betting on that outcome.
