The Food and Economic Safety Authority (ASAE) has instituted four criminal proceedings following an inspection operation within the scope of combating illegal gambling and crime prevention in the North of the country.
In a statement, the authority clarifies that "the existence of concealed rooms" was verified in some of the seven establishments inspected.
In these rooms, "gambling machines were found to be operating", which led to the institution of "four criminal proceedings for the practice of the crime of operating gambling games outside legally authorized places".
ASAE seized three machines for illicit gambling, a computer and a tablet, two thermal printers, as well as 517.00 euros in cash. The value of the seizure amounts to an estimated value of 8,837.00 euros.
The operation also led to the "immediate suspension of activity of three economic operators due to lack of hygiene requirements", with the respective proceedings having been instituted.
