Italy’s Council of State returns Bolzano betting permit dispute to lower court
Italy’s Council of State sent a dispute over a Bolzano sports and horse-racing betting permit back to the local administrative court in a judgment deposited on 5 June 2026. The court said its 2024 ruling had addressed distance rules, not the permit’s duration, so the later municipal measures must be examined in an ordinary first-instance case.
The local court must now examine the later permit measures, leaving the dispute unresolved.
