Understand the case
In the complaint, the STJD Attorney’s Office pointed out that the Flamengo striker reinforced a “agreement” with gamblers on the eve of the match against Santos, on 10/31/2023. According to the agency, the player would have sent a message to his brother reiterating that he would fulfill the promise of receiving a yellow card during the game.
