CMTV faces backlash over illegal casino investigation

The Portuguese television channel CMTV is facing accusations of hypocrisy following an investigative report regarding illegal online casinos and unregulated gambling platforms. The investigation, which highlighted how digital content creators profit from these schemes, has triggered significant backlash on social media.

Critics and followers of journalist Tânia Laranjo have accused the network of double standards, alleging that the channel ignores similar conduct by its own staff and collaborators. Specifically, social media users have pointed to commentator Rui Figueiredo and Jéssica Antunes, claiming they previously profited from such platforms.

In a related development, Vasco Meska has reportedly refused to explain his use of false imagery to promote online games during a segment of the program ‘Doa a Quem Doer’.
