Florida slots-parlour owner seeks dismissal of RICO and money-laundering counts
The owner of Il Villagio Senior Entertainment Center in Florida has asked a judge to dismiss one racketeering charge and three money-laundering counts, according to the reported court filing. Prosecutors allege more than $24 million passed through accounts linked to her business from January 2023 to July 2025; her lawyers argue the allegations do not establish a wider criminal enterprise or concealed funds.
The court’s ruling could affect how Florida prosecutors pursue the alleged illegal gambling operation.
