TunisiaThe Tunisian authorities announced the dismantling of a criminal network active in the field of electronic gambling and money laundering, in a security operation that resulted in the arrest of one of the main participants and the seizure of sums of money and electronic equipment suspected of being used to manage illegal activity.
The operation, which was carried out by the Amran Judicial Police Squad, came after field investigations and accurate information that revealed the activity of a group of people in managing an unlicensed digital platform to collect bettors’ money and transfer it through channels outside the official banking system.
After consulting the Public Prosecution and coordinating with the competent judicial authorities, the security units raided the headquarters that the network was exploiting, and the operation resulted in the arrest of one of the suspects and the seizure of a sum of money in the local currency suspected of being proceeds from illegal gambling.
The seizures also included a laptop computer containing encrypted digital systems and email accounts used to manage charging and betting operations, in addition to smartphones that included conversations and applications suspected of being used to communicate with bettors and coordinate money transfers.
With the permission of the Public Prosecution, the suspect was detained and a judicial investigation was opened into the case, with a number of other people on the run, suspected of being involved in setting up a place to practice sports betting without a license and on suspicion of money laundering, while research continues to determine the identity of the remaining members of the network.
