Gambling executive Mario Gennaro was arrested Wednesday by Italian police along with his associate Domenico Lagrotteria and 49 others accused in an online gambling tax evasion operation valued at € 2 billion.
Franco Roberti, the Anti-Mafia District Attorney from Calabria, said investigators seized 45 Italian companies, 11 foreign companies, 1,500 agencies, 82 websites and an undisclosed number of buildings.
Gennaro, the general director of the Malta-based gambling company BetUniQ, is accused of heading a transnational criminal association specializing in illegal gambling, tax evasion and money laundering.
Prosecutors say Gennaro created an online gambling empire based in Malta, with agencies in Italy, Romania, Austria and Spain, where the organization would collect and distribute winnings in cash in order to avoid tax.
