Bruno Henrique started last Wednesday (13) and scored the winning goal for Flamengo over Internacional, 1-0, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The lineup generated debates, as days before new developments emerged in the accusation of fraud in sports results involving the striker.
Filipe Luís on Flamengo's Bruno Henrique: "Until he is tried and convicted, he is innocent"
"My treatment of him is the same. He's presumed innocent . Until he's tried and convicted, he's innocent," said coach Filipe Luís at a press conference at Maracanã. This isn't the first time the coach has addressed the issue, and he's stated that he will continue using the player.
The investigation began in November 2023, when Bruno Henrique received a yellow card and, later, a red card in Flamengo 's match against Santos . Three bookmakers registered suspicious activity linked to the possibility of the player being cautioned.
Conversations extracted from the attacker's cell phone, in which he and his brother Wander discuss the possibility of receiving a card, became key pieces of evidence in the case . The case, which had been stalled, resumed progress in 2025.
On August 12, a petition called for Bruno Henrique and his brother to be charged with alleged fraud , in addition to fraud. Judge Fernando Brandini Barbagalo, however, upheld the decision not to arrest them, stating that there was no risk of flight.
If convicted, the brothers could face sentences of two to six years in prison, plus a fine. While the case continues, Bruno Henrique remains at Filipe Luís's disposal . If convicted, the striker could be suspended from football for up to two years.
The striker is unable to continue as a starter for Raposa due to Kaio Jorge's good form and is already looking forward to a move abroad.

Gabigol left Flamengo at the beginning of this season after not renewing his contract and signing with Cruzeiro . However, his stay at the Minas Gerais club may be short-lived: the striker is being targeted by teams in Saudi Arabia , according to Rádio Tupi.
The future of the former Flamengo striker is uncertain. He's currently losing his place in the team due to the excellent form of Kaio Jorge , the Brasileirão's top scorer, and the board's search for new attacking reinforcements. The combination of these factors has opened the door for international clubs to approach him.
In 2025, Gabigol played 30 matches for Cruzeiro, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists under Leonardo Jardim . Despite a strong start, the loss of a starting spot and early elimination from international competitions diminished his prominence.
Meanwhile, his former club is going through the opposite moment. Flamengo beat Internacional 1-0 last Wednesday (13) at Maracanã, and took the lead in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, with a goal from Bruno Henrique, needing only a draw next Wednesday (20) to guarantee a place in the quarterfinals.
Despite a decisive moment in the Libertadores, Flamengo now focuses its efforts on the Brasileirão, when it faces Internacional in the 20th round and the first of the second half of the Championship. Flamengo leads the competition with 40 points, three more than Gabigol's second-place Cruzeiro, but with a game in hand.
Mengão recently terminated its contract with Pixbet and received two astronomical proposals to display in the most prestigious space of the Manto Sagrado

Flamengo called a meeting of the Deliberative Council for next Tuesday (19) which will have as its agenda the approval of the new master sponsor of professional football. The decision comes shortly after the termination of the contract with Pixbet , which ended this Thursday (14).
The battle for the most prestigious spot at the Sacred Mantle is between two sports betting giants: Superbet and Betano . The former already has its brand on the uniforms of São Paulo and Fluminense; the latter is a sponsor of the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Brasileiro , reinforcing its market share.
According to Poder360, the Flamengo board is seeking not only the highest financial value but also a solid partner with a positive image who prioritizes Flamengo in its marketing and expansion plans. The goal is to establish a strategic, stable, and long-term partnership. 7k Bet expressed interest but withdrew from the competition.
The previous contract with Pixbet provided for R$105 million in the first year, R$115 million in the second, and R$125 million in the third, plus bonuses. Superbet's proposal, according to the publication, exceeds R$200 million annually—a figure that, if confirmed , would set a new record in Brazilian soccer.
The amount offered by Betano has not yet been revealed. The final decision will be made by the board members next week and will determine which brand will occupy the most valuable jersey in South America in the coming days. Therefore, next Sunday (17), Flamengo should have the space empty for the game against Internacional.
