Caixa asks Brazil’s Supreme Court to join municipal lottery case
Caixa Econômica Federal has asked Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court to join as amicus curiae in a case over whether municipalities may operate and regulate lotteries. Municipal lottery operations remain suspended under a preliminary order, and the court has not set a date for a final ruling; the National Front of Mayors supports municipal autonomy in the case.
The court’s decision will determine whether municipalities can operate lotteries under their own rules or remain subject to a national framework.
