Lecce municipality revokes betting hall authorisation over omitted anti-mafia measure

Enforcement & compliance

Lecce’s municipal production activities office revoked a betting venue’s authorisation, ordered it to cease trading and closed its premises after a Carabinieri inspection. The company’s legal representative allegedly filed a new start-of-activity declaration without disclosing an anti-mafia measure issued against the business in April 2025.

The closure shows that an undisclosed anti-mafia measure can prevent a betting venue from operating under its authorisation.
