Laura Carneiro seeks urgent review of Brazil illegal betting bill
Brazilian deputy Laura Carneiro filed a request for urgent consideration of Bill 4,044/2025 in the Chamber of Deputies on 2 June, reportedly with support from Mário Heringer and Isnaldo Bulhões Jr. The proposal would require financial institutions to monitor and report suspicious transactions linked to illegal betting, with penalties for non-compliance. The bill passed a committee review on 28 May and is due to be considered by the Constitution and Justice Committee before the plenary.
The proposed monitoring duties and sanctions could affect financial firms handling transactions linked to unauthorised betting operators.
