Brazil republishes betting decree with corrected provisions on illegal operators
Brazil republished three articles of Decree No. 13,033, signed by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, after errors were identified in the original text, according to the report. The revised provisions detail information required to document suspected illegal betting, allow appeals against asset-forfeiture decisions within 10 days and set out referral to the attorney general’s office for court action after administrative proceedings.
The corrected decree defines procedures affecting account blocks, appeals and asset forfeiture involving illegal betting operators.
