The CPI that investigates allegations of match-fixing in football had its first meeting this week and numerous calls were approved, in addition to the work plan presented by the rapporteur for the matter, Felipe Carreras (PSB-PE), being endorsed by the deputies.
Also approved was the invitation for members of the Public Ministry of Goiás to be heard so that the deputies know in depth the directions of the investigation of manipulation of results.
Due to the fact that the practice has spread in Brazilian football, the deputy and first vice-president of the CPI, André Figueiredo (PDT-CE), proposed that sports betting companies reveal specific events of receiving bets in unusual volumes that may mean manipulation of results.
He also submitted a request for representatives from Sportradar and Stats Perform, which monitor football betting patterns for the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and the Paulista Football Federation, respectively, to be summoned to explain the way they work and how their monitoring tools can contribute to the fight against match-fixing.
The CPI also wants access to the surveys of the two companies to corroborate the possible cases of match-fixing pointed out in the MP-GO investigations and even those that may not have been pointed out by the Public Prosecutor's Office within the scope of the Maximum Penalty Operation.
