CPI
The CPI was requested by Senator Romário and will be composed of 11 full senators and 7 substitutes, lasting 180 days. In his request (RQS 158/2024), the senator states that sports betting currently generates a lot of money and that the possible enticement of players and managers to manipulate results could put the credibility of the games at risk.
“It is worth remembering that football is an important economic activity in our country, which generates tens of thousands of jobs and drives an important direct and indirect chain of income generation. It is, therefore, the duty of the State to regulate and supervise its activities, in the name of the public interest,” argued the senator.
