Victor Gabriel faces suspension after fake audio controversy

Victor Gabriel, a center-back for Internacional, received a suspension following a hearing by the STJD in which fake audio reportedly influenced the decision. The audio, initially submitted to support his defense, was later questioned for its authenticity, revealing it came from a parody source. The hearing was ongoing when doubts about the audio's legitimacy emerged. Although there was initial support for a lighter penalty, the voting swayed towards a harsher punishment upon the revelation of the questionable evidence. Gabriel's suspension can still be appealed to the full STJD panel.
