TCE-PE urges 184 municipalities to suspend local lottery activity
Pernambuco’s Court of Accounts (TCE-PE) issued an alert recommending that all 184 municipalities halt steps to establish or operate local lotteries. It also called for suspending existing operations, bidding processes and signed contracts until Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court issues a final judgment; non-compliance could expose cities and companies to daily penalties.
Municipalities and lottery companies face potential suspension of operations and daily financial penalties.
