Rio de Janeiro, March 12 (Reporter Zhao Yan) The Brazilian Federal Senate announced at a plenary session on the 12th the establishment of a parliamentary investigation committee to investigate cases of fixing football match results, hoping to severely punish match-fixing.

This committee consists of 11 members, appointed by representatives from all parties in Parliament. According to a report by Brazil’s “Sao Paulo” on March 4, of the approximately 9000 Brazilian football matches monitored by sports betting radar in 2023, 109 (approximately 121% of the total) were suspected of playing match-fixing, ranking first in the world.

On the 11th of this month, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Federal District of Brasilia issued a search and arrest warrant against two Santa Maria players, accusing them of directly participating in match-fixing in two games in the state league. Evidence collected by the investigation showed that the two men used methods including deliberately being awarded penalty kicks, deliberately marking errors, and even making an own goal to make the team lose the game.

In December last year, the Brazilian Congress passed the online sports betting bill, which officially came into effect after being approved by President Lula. At the end of January this year, the federal government established a Bonuses and Gaming Secretariat, which is responsible for regulating and supervising the sports betting and online gambling industries.
