Brazil classified as secret for 5 years the documents used to prepare the betting ban

🔹The Ministry of Justice of Brazil classified as secret the studies, findings, and calculations that were used to prepare the betting ban.

🔹The documents were closed to the public on 24 September, a day before the corresponding decree was signed. The ministry explained this by citing a threat to public health and safety, as well as the country’s financial stability.

🔹3 November the government defended the ban at court hearings. The Attorney General of the state, Jorge Messias, said that the laws that made it possible to create a legal betting market do not provide adequate protection for citizens.

🔹He also referred to a poll according to which the ban is supported by 78% of the population, and said that the existence of an illegal market is not an argument in favor of legalization.

🔹The Ministry of Justice reported that the federal police together with Interpol are investigating more than 20 criminal cases against organizers of the illegal market who are abroad.

🔹Representatives of the bookmaker business opposed the ban. By their estimates, the decision could deprive the football sector of 187 million dollars in sponsorship funds, the budget of 1,9 billion dollars in taxes, and the jobs of 15 thousand people.

The court has not yet made a decision.

🔹At the same time, the deadline for Congress to review the decree expires on 23 November, where a rapporteur has not yet been appointed.

Бразилія засекретила на 5 років документи, на основі яких готували заборону ставок

🔹Міністерство юстиції Бразилії засекретило дослідження, висновки та розрахунки, які використовували для підготовки заборони ставок.

🔹Документи закрили від громадськості 24 вересня, за день до підписання відповідного указу. У відомстві пояснили це загрозою для здоров’я та безпеки населення, а також фінансової стабільності країни.

🔹3 листопада уряд відстоював заборону на судових слуханнях. Головний адвокат держави Жорже Мессіас заявив, що закони, які дозволили створити легальний ринок ставок, не забезпечують належного захисту громадян.

🔹Також він послався на опитування, за яким заборону підтримують 78% населення, та заявив, що існування нелегального ринку не є аргументом на користь легалізації.

🔹Мін’юст повідомив, що федеральна поліція спільно з Інтерполом розслідує понад 20 кримінальних справ проти організаторів нелегального ринку, які перебувають за кордоном.

🔹Представники букмекерського бізнесу виступили проти заборони. За їхніми оцінками, рішення може позбавити футбольну галузь 187 млн доларів спонсорських коштів, бюджет 1,9 млрд доларів податків, а роботи 15 тисяч людей.

Суд поки не ухвалив рішення.

🔹Водночас 23 листопада спливає термін розгляду указу в Конгресі, де досі не призначили доповідача.
