Bruno, still guilty of murder but bafflingly welcome to walk back into football

corrupt countries are corrupt:

“In the future, I’ll be able to laugh at this,” Bruno scoffed as he entered the courtroom, but he later confessed to his part in her killing and was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

Amazingly though, his story is far from over. The breaking news is that Bruno is now out, freed from prison with 15 years still to serve while an appeal is mustered up by his lawyers.

still, the 'man' seems like it would be better if he had slipped on the stairs in prison

In 2013 Bruno was convicted of ordering the murder of Eliza, a former model he met at a party, who may have also dated Cristiano Ronaldo. Eliza became pregnant with Bruno’s child. She had the baby and eventually sought financial support from Bruno who was at the time being linked with a big-money move to Milan.

At which point Bruno and assorted friends conspired to have her tortured and murdered in a shed in suburban Belo Horizonte.

but yeah. this is brazil, the world cup didn't fool anyone with a basic grasp of the situation there.
