Rio court orders R$ 20.9 million freeze in Loterj case against RioPag
Rio de Janeiro’s state court ordered the freezing of up to R$ 20.9 million in RioPag accounts in a case brought by Loterj, according to the report. The judge said the funds belonged to the state lottery and ordered their transfer to a court-controlled account; RioPag had acknowledged the money and proposed repayment in instalments, which Loterj rejected.
The ruling concerns the return of funds held by a payment processor for a state lottery regulator.
