The complaints to be investigated by the CPI involve players, managers and betting companies.

“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 income generation chain. It is, therefore, the duty of the State to regulate and supervise its activities, in the name of the public interest,” argues Romário, in the request.
