Lecce administrative court overturns Brindisi police licence withdrawal
The Regional Administrative Court of Puglia in Lecce annulled the Brindisi police authority’s withdrawal of a public-security licence for a gambling and betting business in Mesagne. In a ruling published on 14 May 2026, the court found procedural and reasoning deficiencies but rejected the business owner’s damages claim; the administration may issue a new decision in line with the ruling.
The ruling restores the licence withdrawal dispute to the administration while leaving open the possibility of a compliant new decision.
