Catania appeal court acquits CTD-PVR operator in betting intermediation case
The Court of Appeal of Catania acquitted a CTD-PVR operator on 23 June 2026, overturning a first-instance conviction under Italy’s gambling law. It found that equipment, betting receipts and schedules did not by themselves prove intermediation, and cited conflicting accounts of whether the operator used a personal account or facilitated customer accounts.
The decision sets out the evidential distinction relevant to prosecutions of betting outlet operators.
