Brazilian Federal Police backs casino, bingo and jogo do bicho bill
Brazil's Federal Police supports a bill to legalise land-based casinos, bingo and jogo do bicho, while asking for a share of sector revenue to fund its work, a reported technical note says. The Justice Ministry opposes the proposal, citing risks including organised crime and money laundering; the bill would allocate 6% of revenue to public security and remains before the Senate.
The Federal Police's request could affect how the bill allocates revenue from newly legalised gambling activities.
