According to Minister Raul Jungmann

Resources generated by new LOTEX will be invested in public safety

Brazilian Public Security Minister, Raul Jungmann, said that the new lotteries, such as LOTEX, will have their resources applied to public safety. According to him, it will be the first time that security will have resources permanently applied at a federal level. 'We are doing redistribution of sources of lotteries administered by Caixa,' said the minister, in a meeting about the BNDES Pro-Public Safety.

According to the minister, a provisional measure will establish these new sources of funds, carried out in parallel to funding in public security, whose regulations were approved in the bank's board this Monday.

"We have an axis of financing from the BNDES and we have an axis in which we will have predictable and increasing resources for the redistribution of the lotteries of Caixa. How much is this new money? It is up to what the President of the Republic announces this week," he said.

Jungmann added that the President is in discussions with the finance and planning ministries.

"We are asking for something in return for the management contract. We are going to ask for compensation from the states, such as reducing the level of homicide, training police officers and producing and structuring the database to have control over what happens in the public safety," he said.
