Brazilian Supreme Court lets Flamengo join betting case as amicus curiae
Supreme Court Justice Luiz Fux authorised Flamengo to participate as an amicus curiae in cases challenging the constitutionality of betting in Brazil, reportedly on 30 September. The decision allows the club to submit information and arguments but does not rule on the merits; Flamengo also asked the court to suspend the provisional measure banning bets.
The ruling gives Flamengo a formal role in litigation that could affect betting operations and its sponsorship contracts.
