LOTERJ chief proposes national force against illegal betting in Brazil
LOTERJ president Hazenclever Lopes Cançado proposed a national force coordinating state governments with federal agencies to tackle illegal betting platforms in Brazil. He called for the involvement of the Federal Revenue, Federal Police, Coaf and Central Bank, and reiterated support for legalising land-based casinos and bingo, which remains under congressional debate.
A coordinated enforcement proposal could affect illegal operators and the division of responsibilities among Brazilian authorities.
