According to the promoter Cláudio Ari Melo, the petitioner, the closing request was made because the house works in disagreement with its license and for operating games of chance, a practice not tolerated by the Brazilian law.
"The Municipality had already banned the establishment. However, the company did not fulfill the determination, continuing to function even after the cancellation of its permits by the City Hall, including the protection and fire prevention - PPCI ", explains the promoter.
The place had obtained the permits signing a pledge that it would not exploit gambling or something similar, restricting its activities to a house of events and entertainment.
In a visit carried out in February this year by the Public Prosecutor's Office, there were approximately 320 gaming machines.
After recommendation of the MP, the Municipality canceled the operating authorizations. However, in a new visit carried out in June, the Prosecutor's Office found that the activities were maintained, thus joining the lawsuit whose injunction was judged last Friday.
