Η Cyber Crime formed file for illegal remode betting companies in Greece
The Electronic Crime Prosecution Directorate has filed a case-file on the illegal re-opening of betting companies in our country.
An appropriate analysis of digital information material concerning the illegal re-activation of betting companies, which do not have the necessary operating licenses within the Greek territory, was appropriately analyzed.
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 Cybercrime Prosecution Directorate conducted a specialized digital research and analysis and initially identified a foreign company, through which online betting players were attracted, with the aim of illegally betting online with this company, bypassing, through the aforementioned special software, the legal procedures provided for in our country.
The result of the investigation was to form a case file for this case, which includes breaches of gaming regulation provisions and breaches of tax law against those responsible for that company, which are being searched 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.
