Brazil’s STF admits Caixa to municipal lottery case as amicus curiae
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court has granted Caixa Econômica Federal permission to participate as amicus curiae in a case over municipal lotteries. The case challenges municipalities’ authority to establish and operate lotteries; a precautionary order issued in December suspended existing municipal operations and blocked new launches, and the court has not set a date for its final ruling.
The court’s decision will determine whether municipalities can establish and operate lottery systems.
