Striker Jarro Pedroso, from Inter de Santa Maria, was punished, this Tuesday (30), with a suspension of 720 days (two years) and a fine of R$ 100,000 by the Court of Sports Justice of Rio Grande do Sul ( TJD-RS) for participating in a match-fixing scheme in the 2023 edition of the Campeonato Gaúcho. The player made an agreement with punters to commit a penalty in the first half of the match, played on February 12 of this year, between São Luiz, his team at the time, and Caxias. Jarro complied with the agreement and committed a foul inside the area at 15 minutes of the initial stage of the confrontation, which ended with a 3-1 victory for Caxias. Jarro acknowledged the irregularities and was not criminally prosecuted. However, in the sporting field, punishment still fit. The attacker’s judgment would be held last week together with that of full-back Nikolas Farias (punished with a fine of BRL 80,000 and 720 days of suspension for participating in a scheme to commit a penalty against Esportivo in the 2023 Gaúcho competition). for which he defended Novo Hamburgo), but it was postponed after the player’s defense asked for more time to better elaborate the defense strategy.
