Iranduba court rejects public-notice service request for Virginia Fonseca

Regulation

The 2nd Court of Iranduba in Amazonas rejected a request on 7 November to serve Virginia Fonseca by public notice. The judge ordered claimant Eliudson de Lima Silva to provide a new address within 15 days; Silva alleges betting promotions influenced him to lose R$ 56 mil set aside for a home purchase. Fonseca’s legal team said she had no commercial or advertising relationship with Betano.

The ruling determines when Fonseca can be formally notified and respond to the advertising claims.
