Rovereto court orders seizure of betting shop in money-laundering probe
A judge at the Rovereto court ordered the preventive seizure of a betting shop in the Alto Garda area on a prosecutor’s request, Italian media reported. Investigators allege the premises were used to disguise criminal proceeds as gambling winnings and that it also made unauthorised loans to customers. Authorities reported 29 people for alleged offences including money laundering and unauthorised financial activity.
The seizure and allegations highlight potential money-laundering and unauthorised lending risks for betting businesses in the area.
