Concepción authorities seize more than 130 machines in illegal gambling raids
Concepción municipality and police closed two unlicensed gambling venues in the city centre this week and seized more than 130 machines. Mayor Héctor Muñoz said the sites had been closed before for lacking permits and that weekly operations would continue; officials also said they may seek permission to destroy the machines.
The continued raids and possible destruction of seized machines affect operators running unlicensed venues in Concepción.
