Italy’s Supreme Court orders new review of betting case over proof of intent
Italy’s Court of Cassation partially upheld an appeal by a betting-centre operator convicted of unauthorised betting collection and sent the case back to the Court of Appeal for a fresh review of intent. It said the lower court had not explained whether the operator knew the required authorisations were absent; the court rejected the appeal’s challenge to the regional distance rules.
The ruling requires courts to assess an operator’s awareness of missing authorisation in this prosecution.
