The Attorney General of the Republic, Paolo Gaunt, asked the Federal Supreme Court (STF) on Friday (6/11) for a national suspension of all legal actions challenging the ban on online gambling platforms, known as gambling.
Gaunt claimed that various decisions of the courts, which allow the operation of gambling houses, cause legal uncertainty. The suspension should remain until the Supreme Court definitively judges the constitutionality of temporary measure 1,394/2026.
In the demonstration, the attorney's office defended the interference in the processes going on throughout the country. "The Office of the Attorney General therefore understands that this is about taking the unusual step of freezing proceedings," he stated.
The petition was forwarded to Minister Louise Fox, rapporteur of four actions questioning the constitutionality of the temporary measure responsible for banning gambling platforms.
