The bars were disguised as wine bars, betting shops or cosmetic studios. The ten business premises were checked over four days, some were locked and under video surveillance, the Ministry of Finance reported on Saturday. The bars had to be forced open by the Cobra task force. A company was closed on behalf of the responsible authority and several violations of the Salzburg Betting Companies Act were discovered. Criminal charges were filed against the operators of the bars. They expect an average fine of 10,000 euros per illegal gambling device. In one case there is also suspicion of forgery and fraud.
“We continue to ensure that illegal activities are strictly punished,” said Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) in a press release about a success report for the important work of the financial police.
