Brazil’s AGU challenges restrictions on benefit recipients’ betting accounts
Brazil’s Attorney General’s Office filed a clarification appeal against a Supreme Federal Court order concerning betting accounts held by Bolsa Família and BPC beneficiaries. The AGU said the order could not be implemented technically as written; the court had not set a new date for a conciliation hearing after Justice Luiz Fux cancelled the session scheduled for 10 February.
The appeal concerns how betting operators must restrict accounts linked to beneficiaries of Brazil’s social programmes.
