Supreme Court (STF)

Betting firms and clubs held 17 of the 26 seats at Fux's hearing, and the bettor was left outside

On Tuesday, November 3, the Supreme Federal Court hears from those who want to overturn the betting ban. Justice Luiz Fux's first list had ten clubs, the CBF, the betting houses' associations and the TV broadcasters' association. Psychiatrists, consumer advocates and child-protection groups, heard in 2024, were not invited. Outside the court, the Bets Nunca Mais petition already tops 140,000 names.

Flávio Bolsonaro Trades 60 Million Voters in Brazil for Vorcaro's R$60 Million in the United States

Defeated with 59,826,041 votes on the 25th, the senator left the country on the 28th through Puerto Iguazú and landed in Miami, a day after Moraes canceled his passports. The PF says Daniel Vorcaro paid R$60 million of the R$131 million Flávio asked for the film Dark Horse, and traced US$12.33 million sent to a U.S. fund. Flávio denies everything and has not yet been indicted.
