An investigation led by UFI 17 de Ciberdelitos dismantled an illegal gambling operation in Mar del Plata that used public QR-code flyers to direct users to unauthorised betting platforms. Six women identified as cashiers were charged and must give statements the following Monday; searches recovered phones, digital devices, documents, cash and a firearm.
The investigation exposes a method for recruiting users to unauthorised betting and has resulted in charges against six people.
