The issue of money laundering has been pointed out, by opponents of the regulation of the gaming sector in Brazil, as one of the reasons for the opposition to the approval of a regulatory framework for the sector. To combat the arguments against gambling, the Gaming Law Commission of the Bar Association of Brazil Sectional Distrito Federal will hold on October 27, at 10 am, the webinar "Prevention of money laundering in the gaming industry" as part of the series “The Rules of Gaming”.
This is an important and necessary issue for Brazil to make sustainable progress in the legalization of the sector that are currently prohibited in Brazilian territory. Without compliance and control rules, it will not be possible to have the desired positive result and the taboo will continue to encourage opponents of the regulation to point out money laundering as one of the reasons for opposition to the sector.
The Gaming Law Commission will feature representatives from Brazil’s SECAP – Secretariat for Evaluation and Lotteries of the Ministry of Economy and COAF – Financial Activities Control Council in the webinar, in addition to a criminal lawyer and a tax specialist.
The subject is recurrent in the public sphere, but little is said in Brazil about the techniques implemented globally in the gaming sector to combat the practice, except for those characters against the legalization of gambling in the country.
Rochelle Pastana Ribeiro Pasiani (General Coordinator of Financial Intelligence at COAF), Bernardo Mota (SECAP/Ministry of Economy), Juliana Malafaia (criminal lawyer) and Erlan Valverde (tax lawyer) will participate in the webinar. The panel will be mediated by Sérgio Garcia Alves, President of the OAB/DF Gaming Law Commission.
