Three probes in the southern
Italian cities of Bari, Catania and Reggio Calabria, coordinated
by DDA anti-mafia and anti-terrorism investigators, have led to
the arrest of 68 people suspected of managing illicit online
gambling systems controlled by mafia clans, investigative
sources said Wednesday.
A total of one billion euros have been seized in Italy and
abroad as part of the operation.
The volume of gambling allegedly controlled by the suspected
criminal organizations exceeded 4.5 billion euros, according to
Carabinieri and tax police.
