Η Cyber Crime formed file for the illegal re-launch of gaming companies in Greece
The Electronic Crime Prosecution Directorate has filed a case-file on the illegal re-opening of betting companies in our country.
For this case it was carried out appropriate analysis of digital information material, regarding the illegal reactivation of betting companies, which do not have the necessary licenses to operate within the Greek territory.
Specifically, company managers approached, via the internet, their old "customers" in our country, to whom they sent detailed instructions for the installation and operation of special software, which bypasses the viewing restrictions set by Greek legislation (blok ip), in websites without a license.
Executives of the Electronic Crime Division conducted specialized digital research and analysis and initially identified a foreign company to attract online betting players to illegally on-line betting on this company by skipping through the aforementioned special software the legal procedures in our country.
The result of the investigation was to file a case file for the specific case, which includes parafundamentals of the provisions for the regulation of the game market, as well as violations of the tax legislation against the managers of the company in question, who are wanted in Greece and abroad.
Participation in the illegal online gambling of "players" in Greek territory is also investigated.
At the same time, the Independent Administrative Authority of the Committee for Supervision and Control of Gaming (Ε.Ε.ΕΠ) has also been informed of this case.
