The Lazio Regional Administrative Court annulled the Customs and Monopolies Agency’s rules for paid technical extensions of bingo concessions, according to the report.

The Lazio Regional Administrative Court rejected a concessionaire’s challenge to the provisional Bingo concession fee set by Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM).

The Lazio regional administrative court accepted three bingo concessionaires’ challenges and annulled measures implementing Italy’s concession extensions, according to the report.

ADM is to determine the amounts through further decisions.
