Rome appeals court acquits data-centre operator in bookmaker case
Rome’s Court of Appeal acquitted the operator of a data transmission centre linked to a Maltese bookmaker without an ADM concession on 30 May 2026, finding that the alleged offence had not been established. The report says the court considered evidence such as computers and betting slips insufficient to prove intermediation through local payouts or gaming accounts.
The ruling clarifies what evidence the court considered necessary to establish criminal intermediation by a betting data centre.
