The Federal Police (PF) indicted, last Monday (14/4), Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique and ten other people for involvement in a fraud scheme in sports competitions. The information was released by the portal "Metrópoles".
During the investigation, the Federal Police found messages on the cell phone of Wander Nunes Pinto Júnior, the player's brother, that allegedly put Bruno Henrique directly involved in the betting scheme. According to the website, the striker was indicted for the crimes of fraud and manipulation of sports results.
According to the GE portal, it had access to the Federal Police report and released some prints of the alleged conversations between Bruno Henrique and his brother (cover image of the article).
In total, 3,989 conversations from Bruno Henrique's WhatsApp were analyzed and many of them were apparently deleted or had no content. According to investigators, this could indicate that the player had deleted some of the messages. However, it was through his brother's cell phone that the agents were able to identify possible compromising dialogues.
In the report, there is this (image below) conversation between the player and Wander from August 29, 2023, two months before the match against Santos.
“Uncle, do you have 2 cards in Brazil?”
In response, the attacker wrote: “Yes.”
Wander continues: “When [the] people tell you to take the 3, call us, ok? LOL”
Bruno Henrique answers: “Against Santos”.
Next, Wander writes: “How many weeks from now?”
Bruno Henrique: “Look there on Google”
Wander: “October 29th”, “I wonder if you’ll be able to stay until then without a card, lol”
Bruno Henrique: “I won’t complain”, “Only if I go hard on someone”
Wander then replies: “Good, I’m going to save the money and invest successfully.”
On October 7 , a new exchange of messages between the brothers was about receiving the card, according to the police. On the same day, Flamengo faced Corinthians in the 26th round of the Brasileirão.

This Thursday (18), Flamengo begins the dispute of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores against Estudiantes, at Maracanã. On the eve of the confrontation, the president and idol of the Argentine club, Juan Sebastián Verón, spoke about the expectations for the duel against Rubro-Negro.
During an institutional event in La Plata, Verón highlighted the financial difference between the teams , with Mengão being the team with the highest market value among the tournament participants, but recalled Estudiantes ' tradition of overcoming opponents considered favorites.
Estudiantes' Verón on Flamengo in the Libertadores: "Yes, the challenge is difficult"
"Obviously, we know the power of our opponent, but we also know that we've been through similar situations against important teams, and that the club, given its history, has risen to the occasion. We've always kept this in mind: yes, the challenge is difficult, but we can excel and represent the club well , regardless of the result. We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.
In the early 1990s, Verón began his career at Estudiantes and played in the 2-0 victory over Flamengo in the 1994 Supercopa Libertadores . In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan . In 2007, he returned to Estudiantes and was a key player in their 2009 Copa Libertadores victory.
Verón retired in 2014, but returned to the field three years later as a player-president . His last official match came in 2017, against Botafogo, also in the Copa Libertadores, during the group stage.
