- The Authority has implemented various strategies to combat unlawful betting activities within Berlin-Friedrichshain.
Law enforcement agencies, including customs and public security, conducted raids on unauthorized gambling dens in Berlin-Friedrichshain. A dpa journalist spotted at least one gaming machine being confiscated from a bar on Frankfurter Allee, among other places being scrutinized. Various establishments were subjected to thorough searches.
During the scrutiny, numerous breaches of the Nationwide Gaming Treaty were uncovered, along with unlicensed gaming equipment and illicit betting machines, as revealed by an official spokesperson from the Federal Government's Substance Abuse Commission. The primary focus of this operation was eateries engaged in gambling, particularly those with gambling equipment.
The operation against unauthorized gambling activities also extended to other cities within the European Union, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the European Union's Anticriminal Office. The European Union is currently considering implementing stricter regulations to prevent such incidents in the future.
