Italy’s Court of Cassation rejects appeal in illegal betting case
Italy’s Court of Cassation declared inadmissible an appeal by a person convicted of illegally collecting bets, upholding the Reggio Calabria Court of Appeal’s decision, according to the report. The case involved a €2 wager placed at a club using a gaming account belonging to the manager’s brother; the court also ordered the appellant to pay costs and €3,000 to the Cassa delle Ammende.
The ruling upholds a conviction based on organised betting collection despite the small value of the recorded wager.
