Brazil’s Supreme Court schedules gambling criminalisation case for 5 August
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court has scheduled a hearing for 5 August on whether the 1941 prohibition on gambling is compatible with the 1988 Constitution, according to reports. President Edson Fachin announced that the court’s full bench will hear the merits of case RE 966.177; the ruling could affect the legal framework for gambling nationwide.
The court’s ruling could determine the status of the national prohibition and affect gambling-related cases awaiting resolution.
