Rome investigators seize more than €25m in alleged scratchcard fraud case
The Guardia di Finanza in Rome seized more than €25m in assets while investigating five former employees of a gaming concessionaire over alleged scratchcard fraud. Prosecutors allege that the former employees used confidential information to identify four winning tickets, worth €7m each for two tickets and €5m each for the other two. A judge will decide whether the precautionary measures remain in place.
The investigation and asset restrictions concern alleged misuse of confidential information involving high-value lottery tickets.
