Newspaper owner that interviewed Bolsonaro wants casinos reopening in Brazil

'Israel Hayom,' which interviewed Jair Bolsonaro, is Israel's most important newspaper and is led by wealthy Sheldon Adelson (84), who controls the largest US casino company - Las Vegas Sands-, according to a report by journalist Ancelmo Gois in his blog, for O Globo. The American tycoon was in Brazil in May, lobbying for the reopening of the casinos.

Owner of a fortune of US$ 38 billons, Adelson is a friend and funder of Donald Trump's campaigns in the US and Benjamin Netanyahu, in Israel.

Adelson promised Mayor Marcelo Crivella to turn Rio into a new Las Vegas. Also in May, then candidate Jair Bolsonaro, at a meeting at the Rio Commercial Association, waved with the reopening of the casinos, "although in principle he was against."

If this happens - there are projects in this direction in Congress - it is the coincidence of a military president, Marechal Dutra, having ended, in 1946, with games of chance and another ruler, also of military origin, Bolsonaro, to have released. To check.
