Jon Vlogs is officially creator of the Jonbet betting platform. He has over 16 million followers on social networks. According to the justification of the request submitted by Senator Soraya Thronicke (Somos-MS), who is rapporteur of the CPI, Jon Vlogs was ahead of a “massive” Blaze promotion campaign. Businessman Jorge Barbosa Dias, owner of the Marjosports Betting House, also missed the session. The board will request the coercive conduct of the two.
Senator Dr. Hiran (PP-RO), president of the CPI, commented on the absences.
“These absences are not a mere inconvenience, they are an act of contempt, this obstructs our research capacity. I will request appropriate measures to the Senate law, including coercive driving. These absences make our work difficult, we want to investigate Blaze, this company that co -opted influencers and, like other companies, shook people in a cycle of addiction,” he said.
