Brazil’s STJ rejects Bruno Henrique’s habeas corpus petition in betting case
Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice (STJ) rejected footballer Bruno Henrique’s habeas corpus petition on 22 July, leaving the jurisdiction question for the Federal District and Territories Court of Justice (TJDFT) to assess. The case concerns allegations that he manipulated a 2023 match to prompt betting; the TJDFT must decide whether to accept the complaint against him and the other suspects.
The TJDFT’s next decision will determine whether the betting-related allegations proceed to charges.
