UK operators’ surrendered funds may repay Spanish fraud victims €6m
About 200 people in Spain are expected to recover roughly €6 million from funds transferred to judicial authorities in Girona in 2021, according to the report. The money came from regulatory settlements paid by UK gambling operators over anti-money laundering shortcomings, while the alleged investment fraud case has no trial date and could face procedural delays until 2028.
The reported restitution links UK operators’ regulatory settlements to potential compensation for people affected by alleged fraud.
