GGL board member Ronald Benter urged Germany’s Federal Ministry of Justice to reconsider a planned reform that would remove sections 284 onwards from the Criminal Code. The GGL said repeal could weaken action against illegal gambling and leave some money-laundering conduct outside criminal law; it called for the rules to cover illegal operators based abroad.
The proposal could remove a criminal-law tool the GGL says it uses to pursue suspected illegal gambling.
