Brazilian CPI proposes tougher match-fixing penalties and restrictions on prop bets

Regulation

A Brazilian parliamentary inquiry into match-fixing proposed three bills, including tougher penalties for fraudulent sporting results and restrictions on prop bets. Senator Romário’s closing report said it found a pattern of criminal activity and proposed defining betting-market fraud as a crime; the commission was due to vote on the report on Wednesday before forwarding its documents to federal investigators and prosecutors.

The proposals could change criminal exposure and the availability of prop bets for Brazilian sports betting operators.
