Summary:
The Brazilian Tribunal do Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econu00f4mica (Cade) has maintained the integrity of a preventive measure imposed by the Superintendu00eancia-Geral da autarquia (SG/Cade) against Caixa Econu00f4mica Federal (CEF) and Federau00e7u00e3o Brasileira das Empresas Lotu00e9ricas (Febralot). The measure aims to ensure a competitive environment in the online lottery game medium market while conducting an administrative investigation into alleged economic order infractions. The investigation seeks to determine if CEF, a dominant player in the market, is abusing its power to impede lotteries from maintaining commercial relationships with online intermediation platforms. The Cade has rejected the appeals filed by CEF and Febralot, finding that the allegations presented were not proven and do not justify the suspension of the preventive measure. The Cade emphasized that CEF must refrain from discrediting lotteries that maintain relationships with online intermediation platforms and must not publicly attribute or suggest the illegality of the activity exercised by these platforms.
