Solidariedade challenges municipal lottery laws at Brazil’s Supreme Court
Solidariedade filed a constitutional challenge at Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court on 12 March over municipal lottery services. The party argues local laws encroach on federal powers and asks the court to suspend the laws and decrees pending a ruling on their constitutionality; the case is assigned to Justice Nunes Marques.
The court’s decision could determine whether municipalities can establish lottery services under local laws.
