San Fernando authorities close nine illegal casinos and seize more than 600 machines
Authorities in San Fernando, Chile, closed nine clandestine casinos and seized more than 600 slot machines on 18 November. The operation, coordinated by the PDI, the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the municipality, also recovered more than CLP37m in cash; prosecutors said the seized items could provide evidence of offences.
The seizures and closures disrupt unauthorised gambling venues and form part of a criminal investigation.
