Rio’s Criminal Execution Court issued a warrant after player traveled to Acre without judicial authorization
The Criminal Executions Court of Rio de Janeiro issued an arrest warrant, last Thursday (5th March 2026), against the goalkeeper for failing to comply with his probation.
According to the decision, he was absent from the State of Rio de Janeiro without authorization. Therefore, he lost the benefit. The goalkeeper must return to prison, in a semi-open regime.
Bruno traveled to Acre on February 15th. The player even defended Vasco, from Acre, in a match for the Copa do Brasil, on the 19th. The team was eliminated on penalties.
“With regard to non-compliance with the conditions of the Conditional Release, in fact, the convict’s conduct must be seen as negligence in complying with the benefit granted to him”, said judge Rafael Estrela Nóbrega in the decision.
According to him, Bruno could not claim ignorance of the conditions of the benefit.

Goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes was sentenced, in 2013, to 23 years in prison for the triple murder, kidnapping and concealment of the corpse of his ex-girlfriend Eliza Samudio, who disappeared in June 2010. The model, mother of the goalkeeper’s son, was murdered in Minas Gerais, but her body was never found.
The athlete progressed to the semi-open regime in 2019 and, since January 2023, has been on probation.
