Flamengo's Henrique out for 12 games for alleged match-fixing
Flamengo player Bruno Henrique was given a 12-match suspension Thursday by a sports court after being accused of deliberately triggering a yellow card to benefit relatives involved in online gambling.
Henrique, 34, still faces a criminal trial for alleged sports fraud over the domestic league match in 2023.
Match fixing carry a sentence of between two and six years in prison.
The Superior Court of Sports Justice punished him with a 12-match suspension and a fine of 60,000 reais (around $11,000) for "violation of sports ethics."
The case centers on a game Flamengo lost 2–1 to Santos in Brasilia in November 2023.
Henrique received a yellow card for a foul and then a second for insulting the referee, for which he was sent off.
Police found several compromising messages on the phone of his brother, Wander Nunes, who will also stand trial.
