Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique remains at the center of debate in Brazilian football . The player was accused of causing a yellow card in 2023 during a match against Santos, with the aim of favoring his brother in sports betting.
Atlético-GO president on Flamengo's Bruno Henrique: "There must be equality for everyone"
After reviewing the case, the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) imposed a 12-game suspension and a R$60,000 fine on the athlete. The decision generated controversy, as many considered the sentence lenient given the severity of the charges , especially compared to harsher sanctions applied in similar incidents in Brazil.
One of those who spoke out was Adson Batista, president of Atlético Goianiense . In an interview with Rádio Bandeirantes News, the Dragão president criticized the disparity in the Sports Court's criteria , especially compared to other cases involving betting.
"There must be equality for everyone. Why is Bruno Henrique, wearing a Flamengo jersey, different? There were players who were out for a year, two years, and did the same thing ... Unfortunately, Brazil is a country of impunity," he declared.
Adson also extended his criticism to the Brazilian judiciary and the country's political leadership: "People say, 'Oh, I believe in justice.' I have serious doubts about the judiciary today . The example we have up there is the worst possible. Unfortunately, it's our country."
Finally, the leader called for the legislature to take a greater lead: " May our parliament, our Senate, take the reins and let everyone do their part . It's not just one Supreme Court that does everything. It judges, condemns, prohibits, does whatever it wants. Unfortunately, we are governed by this entity."
Despite the suspension, Bruno Henrique remains free to compete in the Copa Libertadores, as the punishment only applies to tournaments organized by the CBF, such as the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil . According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Flamengo has already decided to appeal the decision, considering the 12-game suspension excessive. Therefore, the forward remains available for the matches against Estudiantes and possible subsequent stages of the continental competition.
