1 month ago
Malta has made headlines for all the wrong reasons once again due to its online gambling sector as a new investigation revealed a mafia group, the Santapaola-Ercolano clan, had run an illegal betting empire while basing their servers in Malta.
‘Operation Double Game‘ by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) investigated some 336 individuals involved in the online gambling scheme in Sicily, Puglia, Emiliana Romagna, Germany, Poland and Malta.
The criminals set up a sports betting site called RaiseBet24.com which, despite being unauthorised to operate in Italy, based its servers in Malta to bypass the rules.

The building will house some 355 defendants, 900 witnesses and 700 lawyers, according to news agency AFP. Allegedly, the defendants are all members of one of Italy’s four large mafia groups – the ‘Ndrangheta – which has had links to crimes in Malta in the past.
