Enforcement & compliance

Italy’s Guardia di Finanza said officers seized a betting shop and a phone in Vibo Valentia after finding messages linked to remote deposits and bets. The authorities said the business allegedly collected and placed bets for customers through its company gaming account; those responsible were referred to judicial authorities.

The seizure signals enforcement risk for betting businesses facilitating wagers through accounts held in a company’s name.
