Medialive Casino directors arrested in Italian crackdown

Two directors of live casino technology outfit Medialive Casino were among those arrested for illegal gambling operations in last week’s ‘Double Jack’ operation in Italy.

Last week, Italian police raided 30 different locations across multiple provinces in a crackdown on unauthorized online gambling services offered via computer terminals in various retail establishments.

Florence’s chief prosecutor claimed the operation had links to Malta-licensed Medialive Casino Ltd, which also provides live dealer casino technology to Italian-licensed online and land-based gaming operators.

On Tuesday, the Times of Malta reported that two Medialive directors, Massimiliano Fullin and Fabio Veglianetti, were among the seven individuals arrested in last week’s police action. Prosecutors allege that the illegal gambling ran in parallel with Medialive’s legit operations.
