Turin police seize bar premises over alleged illegal poker games
Italian police seized a bar's basement gaming room in Turin after finding seven people playing Texas Hold’em poker on 7 February. Police said they seized cash, gaming equipment and two weapons, and reported two men to judicial authorities on suspicion of facilitating or organising the game. The case remains under preliminary investigation, and the suspects are presumed innocent until a final judgment.
The seizure and investigation signal enforcement action against alleged unauthorised gambling at a commercial venue.
