Finance police call for stronger controls on Italy’s illegal gambling
Ruggiero Bollino of Italy’s Guardia di Finanza told the ADM conference that gambling collection volumes had tripled over 15 years and tax revenue had reached about €11bn. He said online gambling had exceeded land-based collection since 2020 and cited money-laundering risks, illegal platforms and the need for stronger cooperation and investigative tools.
The enforcement concerns include money laundering and unauthorised platforms, shaping scrutiny of gambling operators and financial flows.
