Brazilian Federal Police oppose proposed land-based gambling bill
Brazil’s Federal Police opposed a bill proposing casinos, bingo and sports betting in retail outlets, citing money-laundering concerns in a document sent to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security. The ministry had not processed the document, and the bill’s progress remained uncertain. The proposal had passed a Senate committee by 14-12 in June 2024.
The police opposition may affect the bill’s progress and the proposed entry of land-based gambling into Brazil.
