Zona de Azar Brazil – Brazil: Betting CPI Listened to the CBF Representative

Brazil.- April 30, 2024 www.zonadeazar.com The Parliamentary Investigative Committee (CPI) on Sports Betting took significant steps by convening key representatives of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to discuss concerns about results manipulation in Brazilian football.

The presence of Eduardo Gussem, Hélio Santos Menezes Júnior and Júlio Avelar of the CBF promised to offer important insight into this matter.

After listening to the owner of the SAF of Botafogo, John Textor, it was time for the representatives of the largest entity in Brazilian football to be heard.

John Textor’s statement during the ICC, pointing out the existence of manipulations in Brazilian football, added more fuel to this debate. His recent suspension and Botafogo’s hiring of a French company for match advice suggested the seriousness of the problem.

Textor’s claims about manipulations in the 2022 and 2023 championships, especially in relation to the Palmeiras team, were worrying and deserved a thorough investigation. CPI President Jorge Kajuru’s commitment to seeking the support of the Federal Police underscored the seriousness with which these accusations were taken.

It was essential that the ICC continued to call key witnesses, such as Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, and Julio Casares, president of São Paulo, to obtain a full understanding of the situation and ensure that appropriate measures were taken to address any irregularities in football.
