The rules also apply to other institutions supervised by the Central Bank and members of the Brazilian Payment System.
The vote followed the opinion of the rapporteur, Representative Pauderney Avelino. "The proposal contributes to strengthening the mechanisms for preventing and controlling illicit activities related to illegal gambling and criminal organizations," the rapporteur argued.
For the author, by making the regulations clearer and more objective, the bill reduces loopholes that could be exploited to continue illegal activities. "Furthermore, it sends a clear signal that the State is vigilant and will not allow the financial system to be used for its own perpetuation," explained Representative Kim Kataguiri.
The proposal now awaits final analysis by the Committee on Constitution, Justice, and Citizenship.
