There are 27 amusement and entertainment devices, such as slot machines, seized by the Taranto Financial Police, with 3 responsible persons reported to the competent authorities.
This is the outcome of a series of checks conducted in recent days by the Fiamme Gialle of the Economic-Financial Police Unit and the Taranto Group to combat illegal and irregular gaming.
In detail, during the economic control activity of the territory, which concerned recreational clubs located in the provincial capital, the Ionian Financiers discovered and seized 27 slot machines, which were found not to be connected to the IT network of the Customs and Monopolies Agency, as well as cash profit from illegal gambling. In one case, however, it was verified that the games room controlled was illegally connected to the electricity grid.
For these offences, the Fiamme Gialle have therefore reported 3 persons responsible to the competent authorities.
Further investigations, of a fiscal nature, are being carried out, aimed at ascertaining - by the inspected associations - the regular payment to the Financial Administration of the so-called "Single Tax Levy", a tax commensurate with the sums "played" and recorded on the meters of the machines .
