Anti-Corruption ALERT
The new Portuguese Statute on Integrity in Sports (Law no. 14/2024) was published on January 19.
In light of the rules previously in force, we would underline the following measures:
The establishment of an obligation upon sports agents to report certain conduct;
The creation of bodies with the mission of ensuring integrity in sport, namely a national platform and the National Council for Integrity in Sport;
The obligation upon clubs and other sporting entities to hold training sessions relating to integrity; and
The addition of coercion in sports and of fraudulent betting to the catalog of existing crimes.
