Bruno to Return to Prison for Girlfriend's Murder After Signing with Boa Esporte

The Brazilian supreme court ordered goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes de Souza to return to prison to serve the remainder of the 22-year sentence he received in the death of Eliza Samudio, the Associated Press (via the Guardian) reported Tuesday.

In March, Souza signed a deal with Boa Esporte, a club in the Brazilian second division. The 32-year-old had been released from prison while the court reviewed his appeal.

SportsNet New York's Aaron Bauer noted Souza's contract with Boa Esporte can be nullified in the event he goes back to prison.
