Flamengo back Henrique amid match-fixing probe

Flamengo issued a statement supporting Bruno Henrique amid a match-fixing investigation involving bets on him receiving a yellow card in a game last year. The club expressed trust in Henrique and stated that he will continue his professional activities as usual. The federal police visited the club’s training ground but did not confirm if Henrique was a target. This incident comes after another Brazilian player, Lucas Paquetá, was charged in a match-fixing scandal. Investigations have also led to charges against 15 players for alleged manipulation of sports competitions in Brazil.
