Federal court in Paraíba authorises financial secrecy waiver in betting investigation
A federal court in Paraíba authorised investigators to access the banking and tax records of Pixbet, five payment companies and people linked to an investigation into suspected tax evasion, money laundering and irregular financial-institution operations. The inquiries began in 2022, and the judge ordered the parties under investigation to provide five years of banking information, including card, Pix and investment records.
The order exposes betting and payment businesses to scrutiny of five years of financial records in a criminal investigation.
