Betting ban court filings Durigan reports takedowns

Oct 2

The complete account covers three October 2 developments. Bruna Saniele says ABERT asked the STF to suspend the betting-ban provisional measure, alleging unconstitutionality, improper purpose and harm to broadcasters' production, programming and advertiser contracts; the request went to Luiz Fux. She reports Dario Durigan's government balance: nearly 80,000 pages removed, over 10,000 sites referred to Anatel and 30% of platform funds withdrawn. Users are asked to withdraw by October 5; banks should return remaining money October 9–14. Durigan's full response explains bank repayment and Caixa as a last resort, stressing ownership by bettors. The final anchor return says AGU asked the STF to invalidate the laws allowing and regulating betting, arguing harm-reduction safeguards proved insufficient. Neither a suspension ruling nor a completed future refund is reported.

ABERT asked Brazil's Supreme Federal Court to suspend the sports-betting ban pending related cases, according to TV Brasil's October 2 account. Its filing argues that the provisional measure is unconstitutional, issued for an improper purpose and interferes with broadcasters' programming freedom and established advertiser and sponsorship contracts. The request went to Justice Luiz Fux; the report establishes a filing, not a ruling.
