Italy’s Council of State rejects suspension of Reggio Calabria betting-licence refusal
Italy’s Council of State granted an appeal by the Interior Ministry and Reggio Calabria police headquarters, overturning a lower court’s interim suspension of a betting-licence refusal. The court said police may assess licensing risks independently of a prefect’s anti-mafia notice, and sent the case back for a full hearing.
The interim ruling leaves the betting-licence refusal in effect while the underlying dispute awaits a merits hearing.
