Now, he has been summoned again to respond to a request from Senator Izalci Lucas. “His participation is necessary so that the CPI understands the current regulatory policies, the control and inspection mechanisms adopted, and whether there are flaws that allow practices such as money laundering and manipulation of results,” argues Izalci in his justification.
The rapporteur of the CPI, Soraya Thronicke, also justifies in a request the need to debate the current panorama of illegal online gambling and the adaptation of the current regulatory and repressive system.
The senator emphasizes that online gambling games are a form of gambling, in which participants bet on random events. For her, these games represent a criminal scheme that has harmed many victims, leading gamblers to addiction and causing the destruction of jobs and families.
“Disguised as entertainment, these games of chance trigger a series of crimes, including money laundering, criminal association, ideological falsehood, crimes against the financial system, illegal exercise of activity, among others," highlights Soraya.
Before the testimony, the Commission will vote on requests with summons and invitations, in addition to requests for information, documents and the creation of an institutional channel to receive complaints.

* REQ 185: summons the president of the Financial Activities Control Council (Coaf) and of the company GSA Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda., linked to singer Gusttavo Lima, to present the Financial Intelligence Reports (RIFs) for the period from January 1, 2023 to October 31, 2024;
