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.

A little over a month after the match between Flamengo and Santos , on December 9, the police found another conversation between Bruno Henrique and Wander. The Flamengo striker's brother says "you know what you gave me the idea about Santos?" and claims that the money had not been paid. He then asks to borrow R$4,000.

Osvaldo recalls Vitória's good record against Rubro-Negro at Maracanã and predicts a balanced clash in the 21st round of the Brasileirão

Vitória is preparing for a challenging clash in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The Bahian team faces Flamengo this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Despite the two teams' different moments in the table, striker Osvaldo showed confidence in seeking a good result in Rio de Janeiro.
"We're going to Maracanã and trying to play a great game. We haven't lost at Maracanã in a few games, so I think we can build on that to put in a great performance. Flamengo is a tough opponent; they're the best team in our football world , and they've been achieving great results," the striker declared, before adding:
"But on the field, it's 11 against 11, especially against Vitória, who have a history of playing great games and surprising in several matches. I think we have what it takes to get there and get a great result . We know how difficult the game will be," Osvaldo concluded.
Flamengo takes the field to defend its sole lead in the Brasileirão , with 43 points. Filipe Luís's team is enjoying an excellent run of form , having gone six games unbeaten in the competition.
In addition to a solid run in the national championship, the Rio de Janeiro team secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores last week by eliminating Internacional. Prior to that, they had already beaten the same opponent 3-1 at Beira-Rio, cementing their good run.
Athletes are one card away from suspension and may miss the team's next game against Grêmio in the next round of the Brazilian Championship.

Flamengo's upcoming match against Vitória raises alarm bells for Filipe Luís. Three players on the squad are suspended and risk suspension for the next match against Grêmio if they receive another yellow card this round.
Among those suspended, two are regular starters in defense: Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz. Both have two yellow cards and, if cautioned again, will be out for the remainder of the competition.
The red-and-black coach may have a difficult time building a defense. Danilo, recently recovered, emerges as an immediate alternative if one of the starting center-backs is penalized . However, if both receive cards against Vitória, Filipe Luís may resort to a player from the youth academy to form the defense alongside Danilo.
In addition to the defense, defensive midfielder Allan is also suspended, but the situation is less of a concern for the coaching staff . With Erick Pulgar injured, Allan had been gaining minutes, but lost his place after the emergence of Saúl, who is expected to continue as a starter alongside Jorginho. Even if Allan receives his third yellow card, the Jorginho-Saúl duo is likely to be kept for the match against Grêmio.
Flamengo, the sole leader of the Brazilian Championship with 43 points, is enjoying a positive run. The team is six games unbeaten in Série A and secured its place in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores last week by eliminating Internacional. Prior to that, they defeated the same opponent 3-1 at Beira-Rio Stadium, reinforcing their positive momentum under Filipe Luís.
The duel for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship will be this Monday (25), at 9 pm, with a Minas Gerais refereeing team commanding the match at Maracanã

Flamengo heads into the match as the clear leader of the Brazilian Championship , with 43 points. Filipe Luís's team is enjoying a positive run , having gone six games unbeaten in the national competition.
