ITALIAN ONLINE GAMBLING RING BUST

21 September 2007

56 people interviewed by Italian Financial Guard police


Early, and scanty, reports just in indicate that the Italian financial police have been active in busting an illegal and unlicensed online betting ring that stretched over 20 centres.

The names of 56 people were taken by Taranto Financial Guard officers following the investigation on allegations of unauthorised online betting.

An AGI report said that police uncovered a complex system which managed to evade the AAMS authorisations system in place for gambling, and have identified 20 illegal centres. During the operation a sizeable amount of hardware was seized.

Those under investigation are the as yet unnamed owners and clients of the locations where the bets were placed.
