North Rhine-Westphalia police say they lack capacity to tackle illegal gambling
North Rhine-Westphalia's State Criminal Police Office reportedly concluded in an internal analysis that authorities have limited capacity to combat illegal gambling and its effects. The analysis cited shortages in coordinated plans, qualified staff and equipment, and said the justice system was also overburdened; its authors recommended prioritising tax offences.
Reported staffing, equipment and coordination shortages may constrain authorities’ efforts against illegal gambling.
