The Federal Police investigation into Bruno Henrique, Flamengo's striker , has been concluded with the request for indictment for gambling fraud. Now, the case will be developed both in the STJD (with sports punishment) and in the ordinary courts (with criminal punishment)


WHAT'S COMING NEXT?


According to information from the UOL portal, the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Federal District is already working informally on a complaint in the Bruno Henrique case. The tendency is that he will be framed under article 200 of the General Sports Law, as indicated by the PF.


The article describes the punishment for defrauding by any means or contributing to fraud in the outcome of a sports competition . The penalty provided is imprisonment of two to six years.

WHAT THE MP AND THE STJD SAY


Officially, the MP says it needs to be intimidated about the PF report, which has not yet happened.

"When this occurs, the document will be rigorously analyzed and from there new procedural steps will be defined, which may include, for example, the determination of new diligences", informed the body.

The STJD , in turn, has already requested that the Court share information from the investigation into Bruno Henrique. This had already been requested by the PF itself. The decision depends on Judge Fernando Barbagalo, who is responsible for the investigation, but it is common practice for this type of procedure to be approved.

From then on, the STJD prosecutor's office will have to open a new investigation into Bruno Henrique for violating article 243 of the sports code. The court had already closed the previous procedure due to lack of economic advantage.

When the prosecution files the complaint, which is likely, the presidency of the STJD may apply a preventive suspension of 30 days. This occurred in the case of the 12 players involved in the match-fixing case analyzed in Operation Maximum Penalty.

Coach Filipe Luís has been frequently associated with Jorge Jesus . This Tuesday (16), the current Al Nassr commander made a point of publicly praising his Brazilian compatriot in an interview with Canal Goat . According to the Portuguese, the relationship between the two goes beyond the field, marked by friendship, gratitude and a constant exchange of ideas about football.


Jorge Jesus on Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "I really believe in his growth"


"Besides being a friend, he's a grateful person, and there are people in football who forget things very easily. We continue to talk a lot. He's a coach just starting his career and has absorbed the knowledge of my way of working , and I strongly believe in his growth," said Jorge Jesus.


The Portuguese also highlighted Filipe Luís's personality and promising future: " He's learning; our early years are like that, just like mine . Now, I know he has a bright future; he will. He's a great friend. Filipe is a grateful friend, a great family man, and he'll be a great coach."

COMMON HISTORY


Filipe Luís and Jorge Jesus worked together in 2019, when the former full-back was a key player in Flamengo 's Libertadores and Brasileirão championship.

The current Mengão coach acknowledges the Portuguese's influence on his career and admits to modeling himself on the former Flamengo manager's style:

"I can never compare past teams with my current team; they have completely different players. I can never compare myself to the coach I was in charge of at that time, Jorge Jesus. If he's not the best in history, he's one of the best to have played here at Flamengo . I'll never be like him, I'll never do anything like what he did," the coach declared.

WANTED BY STARS

The Portuguese director also revealed that prominent European football players had offered to play for Flamengo , but the club chose not to move forward with negotiations . According to him, there was no need for reinforcements in those positions.
