Brazil's Attorney General's Office (AGU) has requested that Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Luiz Fux grant it 72 hours to reply to a legal challenge against the country's betting ban. Betting entities lodged the suit with the STF on Monday, seeking to overturn the provisional measure prohibiting betting that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced on Friday. The AGU says the bodies responsible need time to defend the acts and regulations at issue, and it describes the request as strictly procedural, without anticipating any position on the merits.
ANJL and IBJR asked Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court on 28 September to suspend President Lula’s provisional measure banning online betting and gaming.
