Italian prosecutor says legal gambling is central to tackling illegal betting
At the ADM General Assembly in Rome, prosecutor Santina Lionetti said illegal gambling is a major source of profit for organised crime and requires cross-border cooperation. She pointed to existing measures under Italy's Law 401 of 1989, including asset confiscation, and said enforcement should be accompanied by prevention and education.
The remarks underline the role of confiscation and international cooperation in enforcement against illegal betting networks.
