Summary
The finance ministry said an existing betting restriction already covered five million taxpayer IDs, BNLData reported. Presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro included a ban involving Bolsa Família and BPC welfare funds in his programme despite the measure already being in force.
Why it matters
The ministry’s statement distinguishes an existing welfare betting restriction from the candidate’s proposed policy.
