Sportradar Announces Memorandum of Understanding with Brazil Federal Police

SPORTRADAR AWARDED TEMPORARY KENTUCKY SPORTS WAGERING SERVICES LICENSE

 

The joint effort will deliver a new level of protection in the ongoing efforts to safeguard the nation’s sport against match-fixing and corruption

A landmark partnership to strengthen and protect the sports integrity landscape of Brazil has been agreed between the Federal Police and Sportradar Integrity Services, a global supplier of sport integrity solutions and partner to over 100 sports federations and leagues. Sportradar Integrity Services is a part of Sportradar , the leading global sports technology company creating immersive experiences for sports fans.

The two parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which will see Sportradar Integrity Services, who have monitored global betting markets for more than 16 years, support the Federal Police by sharing relevant information to combat corruption in sport, exchanging their expertise to establish best practice for tackling fraud investigations, match-fixing and countering corruption within sports and betting.

Match fixing is a serious and continually evolving threat to the integrity of global sports competitions, with evidence of large syndicates of criminal gangs seeking to manipulate the results of sporting events and bets; doping; payment of bribes and money laundering associated with the high volumes of resources involved.

The strategic agreement with Brazil’s Federal Police further extends Sportradar’s cooperation with police and law enforcement agencies, which includes Europol, Spain’s Guardia Civil, and the Bulgarian, Austrian and French Federal Police, among others.

General Director of the Brazilian Federal Police, Paulo Gustavo Maiurino, said: “Corruption in sport is a topic that has attracted the attention of the international community, in which Brazil is also a part. This is due to the possibility of infiltration of criminal organizations in this sector, with the manipulation of sporting events, betting, doping, payment of bribes, and money laundering associated with the high volumes of resources involved.

In light of this reality, the signing of this agreement between the Federal Police and Sportradar will allow for better targeting of criminal investigations related to such crimes in Brazil, especially those that require international coordination and cooperation.”

Andreas Krannich, Managing Director, Integrity Services, Sportradar: “Throughout the years we have supported various state authorities, government institutions, national platforms and sport federations, and these collaborations have demonstrated just how effective a joint effort can be in the anti-match-fixing cause, as shown in the 489 sporting sanctions and 50 criminal sanctions our work has contributed to in this time. Brazilian sport is safer as a result of this cooperation, and we are ready to assist the Federal Police of Brazil to help play our part in supporting the integrity of all Brazilian sport.”

Zimpler, a leading Swedish company in Pay-by-bank solutions, has become a certified Payment Institution (PI) in Brazil, authorized by the Central Bank. Now Zimpler is allowed to facilitate payments and other Open Finance ecosystem resources, streamlining the checkout process and reducing friction by allowing direct transactions without redirecting users to bank apps. This movement solidifies Zimpler’s plans and structure in Brazil.

“We are thrilled to receive this authorization from the Brazilian Central Bank. The recognition of Zimpler as a payment initiator reinforces our commitment to this local market, which offers a great opportunity for growth and value in a very dynamic and competitive environment,” said Johan Strand, CEO of Zimpler.

The authorization, which also allows Zimpler to act as an electronic money institution, strengthens the Open Finance ecosystem in Brazil, one of the most advanced in the world and which now welcomes the leading payments fintech from Sweden. Businesses looking to thrive in the country can now benefit from the Zimpler’s seamless payment experience, giving them a competitive edge in a dynamic and fast-moving market.

“This milestone showcases the strength of Swedish innovation and the mutual benefits that come from closer economic collaboration between Sweden and Brazil. Sweden has long been a leader in financial technology, and we are proud to see companies like Zimpler bring their experience and trusted solutions to contribute to Brazil’s dynamic digital economy,” said Andreas Rentner, Trade Commissioner and Country Manager of Business Sweden in Brazil.

“With our experience powering over 80% of Sweden’s population through Swish, we’re bringing the same proven technology and approach to Brazil through Pix, one of the most successful real-time payment systems in the world. We’re looking forward to helping businesses unlock the full potential of Open Finance in Brazil with seamless, secure payments that drive market growth,” Strand said.

The authorization by the Central Bank is another step in strengthening Zimpler’s foundation in Brazil, following the opening of its São Paulo office in 2022. The company remains focused on expanding its footprint and deepening its partnerships across key verticals such as iGaming, where it sees strong growth potential.
