He prepared for the Copa America this summer.
On May 23rd, the FA charged Paqueta with misconduct for allegedly deliberately creating yellow cards in order to take part in betting on football during four matches in the Premier League. However, after communication between the Brazilian Football Federation and the FA, the FA confirmed that although Paqueta is facing charges, he is currently not under any banning order and can therefore continue to play.
In interviews with the media, officials of the Brazilian Football Federation emphasized the principle of the presumption of innocence. They stated that no one can be considered guilty until they have finally been judged and determined guilty. Paqueta is still legally entitled to the presumption of innocence and is therefore eligible to continue representing the Brazilian national team.
Paqueta has reported to the Brazilian team to actively prepare for the upcoming Copa America. Brazil is placed in Group D. Their first match will be against Costa Rica on June 24, followed by Paraguay and Colombia. These matches will be crucial for Brazil, and the addition of Paqueta will further strengthen the team.
