"Judge's decision in Porto Alegre is brilliant, courageous and technically perfect"

"A brilliant decision, extremely courageous and technically perfect. A decree-law of the time of the dictatorship was not approved by the Federal Constitution of 1988 and can no longer be used to maintain the monopoly of the Caixa Econômica Federal on the bets in our country ".

"The social adequacy of conduct and formal and material atypicity is evident. No one understands the obsession of the state's repressive moves in closing gaming houses claiming criminal contraventio, while doing absolutely nothingto close houses of prostitution that is a crime by our current penal code," said Moraes Nascimento, a lawyer from PUC / RS, a specialist in Criminal Sciences, who has been involved in turf, betting, gambling and draws for 15 years.

Now, authorities are studying measures in relation to the decision of the 3rd Public Treasury Court. "The Public Prosecutor's Office is reviewing the decision, which it considers to be mistaken, since Justice recently confirmed that gambling continues to be a criminal offense, so there is no way in which a decision by the Treasury to prevent the authorities from acting, if it is backed by a criminal order, "said Attorney General Fabiano Dallazen.
