The Public Security and Combating Organized Crime Commission will hold a public hearing, with a date yet to be set. Request 111/2021 was presented by federal deputy Capitão Augusto (PL-SP), giving as justification that "the situation of games of chance in Brazil involves sensitive issues that comprise matters within the competence of this Commission and that demand a deepening of the debate, so that we are able to clearly assess all the variables involved and, thus, contribute, with propriety, in the legislative activity of this parliament on the subject.”
The commission intends for the public hearing to be held together with the Tourism Commission, considering that the matter is also being discussed in its scope.
The deputy requested that the following debaters be invited, as well as others who may contribute to the topic:
- Ricardo Costa Gazel - Doctor in Economics from the University of Illinois;
- Hermano Tavares - Psychiatrist at USP;
