Pernambuco prosecutors support request to recuse judge in betting case
Pernambuco prosecutors supported a request to remove judge Andréa Calado da Cruz from the Operation Integration proceedings, which investigate alleged money laundering through sports betting and the jogo do bicho. The request was filed by Darwin Henrique da Silva Filho, owner of Esportes da Sorte; the court’s decision was not stated.
A ruling on the request could change which judge handles proceedings involving betting companies under investigation.
