PORTO ALEGRE - In the façade, the set of rooms that occupies the right side of the fifth floor of the Formac Building if seems any office of the Street Leonardo Truda, commercial center of Porto Alegre. In the interior, eight monitors of video transmit to the living creature, in intervals of ten minutes, races of horses that if carry through in cities of the United States. In it I sing right, the machine hardwired with Mexico emits, saw on-line, tickets in dollar. In it I sing left, a picture supplies the daily quotation of the American currency. In this scene, the Carnegie Cooke of Brazil or Jockey functions Eldorado Club of the South - the two names of the set of rooms -, only gambling house of the country that accepted appositive in dollar, what it is illegal. ' ' the minimum value is of two dollars. Here it is the only place of the country where if it can simultaneously bet with the Americans and players of the whole world '', the employee Milton Soares is proud, with constant smile that shows the only tooth.
Mexico - ' ' We are representative of the Carnegie Cooke Company, of Las Vegas, but the money to pay the prize the betting ones comes of Mexico for intermediary of the company Calientes Waters, that in transmit the images saw satellite to them '', counts Milton. It adds that the money to bank the appositive ones is deposited in an agency of the BankBoston, American, of Porto Alegre ' '.
Milton is interrupted by the master, the remodelled colonel of the Military Policy Valdo Marques Da Silva, who if presents as representative of the Carnegie Cook for Latin America. The officer tries to show that nothing in the business she wounds the laws, what cannot be said of its past. In accordance with documents gotten for the Periodical of Brazil , in 1997 it were condemned by the shunting line of R$ 20 a thousand destined to the purchase of horses for the p.m. gaucho.
To seem - ' ' They can photograph, because we are legalized. The customers only save '', say Valdo colonel. But, if the laws were fulfilled, the branch office of the Carnegie Cook could not function. Second to seem of the Ministry of the Agriculture sent in 4 of last September to the State legislature, the company does not have authorization to explore races of horses. ' ' Neither to operate in machines in real time '' (that they transmit the races of the United States).

Beyond the Jockey Eldorado Club of the South, they are being investigated of Alegrete and Carazinho, in the interior of the State, that if they would have transformed into hunting-níqueis houses. The irregular situation of the Carnegie Cooke was confirmed in 23 of October for the minister Carlos Veloso, reporter of Supremo Federal Court (STF), when denying habeas preventive corpus that Valdo asked for to allow the functioning of the house. The colonel obtained the authorization of an employee of the Ministry of the Justice crowded in Porto Alegre, that finished moved away.
Collection - the Brazilian branch office, says the officer, is alone with 8% of the sum of appositive collected by the American matrix. Soon after that, it enters in contradiction, when denying that the prescription of the game is sent to the exterior. The second version is contradicted by the video monitors, that show the values of the refined prizes in the United States.
' ' This is smelling irregularity there. To the times, the Jockey Club of São Paulo purchase the image of a great prize of the United States, after paying a richness in copyrights. But the appositive ones are not made in way on-line '', affirm the manager of vendas of the Jockey Club of Belo Horizonte, Ivo Rasp.
More firewood - the Carnegie Cooke also brings more firewood to the fogueira of denunciations that bind to assessors of governor Olívio Dutra the bankers of the game of the animal.

The money would have been delivers to the Club of Insurances of the Citizenship, formed for petistas and presided over for Diógenes economist Oliveira.
Ribbon - In deposition to the CPI, Jairo it came back behind. But the subject esquentou in day 25 past, when the lawyer Wilson Muller delivered to the CPI looks with the writing of colloquy that Diógenes had, in March of 1999, the commission agent Fernando Tubino, former-director of the Civil Policy. In the colloquy, the petista uses the name of the governor to pressure the commission agent not to restrain the game of the animal.
' ' the government does not have knowledge of the functioning of the one of this Carnegie Cook, much less that they are being appositive group of bencheses in dollar. These denunciations are motivated by these corrupt policemen who are being moved away from the government in association with the oposicionista group of benches that they want to contain the advance of the PT '', said the head of the Civil House, Flávio Koutzi.
