The public hearing is in response to a request (REQ 1/2023 — CEsp) from Senator Romário (PL-RJ). Specifically mentioning football, he justified the proposition by warning of the frequent allegations of result manipulation in a scenario of expansion of the sports betting market.
“The need to guarantee transparency, legality and the fight against illicit practices leaves no doubt about the importance of promoting a broad and in-depth debate on these issues, involving representatives of sports institutions, government authorities, companies in the sector, experts and other interested parties,” assessed the senator.
In other requests, Romário himself and senator Jorge Kajuru (PSB-GO) added names to the guest list. The event is scheduled for after the CEsp deliberative session, which begins at 9:30 am, in room 13 of the Senador Alexandre Costa Wing.
