Bruno Henrique was indicted by the Federal Police for fraud and fraud in a sports competition. The investigation indicates that he would have forced a yellow card in a match against Santos, for the 2023 Brazilian Championship, to benefit bettors, including family members.


Messages found on the cell phone of his brother, Wander Nunes Pinto Júnior, indicate that Bruno Henrique had previously arranged to receive the card, which generated profits from gambling. In addition to him, nine other people, including relatives, were indicted. The case is being analyzed by the Public Prosecutor's Office, which may formalize a complaint in the coming weeks.




WORLDWIDE REPERCUSSION

The news about Flamengo's number 27 naturally stirred up the press, which reported the case in newspapers throughout Latin America and Europe . In Portugal, the athlete's situation was reported on both the "Record" and "A Bola" websites, two of the country's main media outlets. Both even highlighted that the athlete's family was also involved in the investigation.

Both Marca, from the capital, and Mundo Deportivo, from Barcelona, reported on the alleged manipulation scheme.

In South America, the repercussions spread to several countries. Argentina, naturally, gave the incident a more spectacular tone, treated as a "scandal" by "Olé" and a "very harsh accusation" by "TyC Sports" . In Uruguay, "El País" also did not let the situation go unnoticed and mentioned the Brazilian Federal Police, responsible for indicting the striker. The newspaper even used the word "fraud".

REACTIONS AND NARRATIVES

Flamengo: The club issued official statements reiterating its support for Bruno Henrique and defending the presumption of innocence. International media, such as the Associated Press and ESPN, highlighted this stance, noting that Flamengo did not remove the player, who continued to play normally, as in the game against Juventude on April 16, 2025.

Bruno Henrique: The player denied the accusations, claiming his innocence in interviews, such as after the victory in the 2024 Copa do Brasil, where he said he trusted in “divine justice”. His statements were widely reported, especially in Europe.

Authorities: The Federal Police were praised by outlets such as Metrópoles and Terra for their detailed analysis of almost 4,000 WhatsApp conversations, although messages deleted by the player raised suspicions of obstruction. The investigation will now be forwarded to the Public Prosecutor's Office, which will decide whether to file a formal complaint.

Flamengo has formalized a proposal for goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão , Santos' standout player in 2025. According to information from UOL, Rubro-Negro offered seven million euros (around R$45 million) for 60% of the player's economic rights.


Despite the high price, Santos rejected the offer. The São Paulo club believes Brazão should only leave if a minimum offer of €15 million (approximately R$94 million) is met, a sum considered fair by the board to open negotiations.


WHAT DID GAZETA DO URUBU FIND?


According to Gazeta do Urubu , the Rio de Janeiro club has not yet made an official offer to the player. Sources within the board revealed that the player is being monitored, but there have been no official talks with the goalkeeper yet.

SANTOS HOLDS THE GOALKEEPER


Gabriel Brazão is in great form and has become one of the most highly valued goalkeepers in Brazilian football. In addition to Flamengo 's interest, European clubs are also monitoring the situation. Torino, from Italy, even submitted a R$64 million offer , which Santos also rejected.

Other giants like Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Porto are closely monitoring the player's progress , as he has played 33 matches this season. Santos' board, which recently loaned João Paulo to Bahia, is working to keep Brazão at least until the end of the year.
