The influencers were summoned to testify to the commission that investigates irregularities on online betting platforms
The call of digital influencers such as Virginia Fonseca AND Rich Melquiades From the CPI of Sports Bets – popularly called Bets CPI – he turned on the warning between the public. The main question: are the famous in danger of being arrested during the testimony? The criminal lawyer Suéllen Paulino clarified the problem in an interview with the column Fábia Oliveirafrom the portal Metropolis.
According to Suéllen, the technical response is that, as a rule, there is no possibility of immediate arrest. “An CPI has the main function to investigate the relevant facts for the public interest. It has investigative powers equivalent to those of a judicial authority, such as calling people to testify, request documents and perform measures. However, the IPC cannot automatically judge or arrest someone, except in exceptional situations.”he said. According to the lawyer, these exceptions provide behaviors such as false testimonies, contempt or unjustified absence.
Understand what CPI bets is
The call of influencers aims to understand their degree of involvement with the bookmakers, in particular in the face of complaints about possible fraud, manipulation of results and incentives to the public – also young people – to participate in irregular games. “In practice, these calls aim to clarify the level of influencer involvement with online betting platforms”Sumllen said.
He also feels the risks of transforming sessions into shows. “Caution is needed in order not to transform the testimonies into public shows. It is necessary to investigate – but as regards the contradictory, the presumption of innocence and without prejudice. Digital influencers play an relevant role in collective behavior, in particular young people, and must be considered responsible when they exceed the legal limits. But this should happen based on tests, not titles.”concluded.
The bets were created to investigate the impact of online betting on the economy of Brazilian families, as well as possible links of these companies with money recycling patterns and criminal organizations. The final report of the Commission must be presented by June. Until then, new calls must take place – and the performance of influencers continue at the center of parliamentarians.
