But despite his confession and prison sentence, the married goalkeeper was allowed to sign a five-year contract with Montes Claros of the Campeonato Mineiro.
It means Bruno could be allowed to leave prison on day release, accompanied by a police escort, to train with the team and play in matches. But before the contract can be approved and the day release considered a judge will have to grant his approval.
Ms Samudio had previously claimed to have had an affair with Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo.
