Authorities dismantled and closed five clandestine gambling venues located in the vicinity of White Church.
In a recent bust, law enforcement tore through non-residential sites, taking down an intricate illegal gambling operation as per the bureau's official statement.
The raids resulted in a massive haul of 64 sets of computer equipment, video cameras, high-tech thermal printers, an armful of flash drives, an assortment of phones, devices for checking banknotes, and cold, hard cash. The total estimated value of the confiscated goods surpassed 1 million UAH.
As of now, the pre-trial investigation continues to unfold, underscoring the ongoing battle against clandestine gambling activities in the country.
This crackdown on illicit gambling comes amidst a broader context of Ukraine grappling with illicit trade. Notably, there have been instances of asset recovery, with virtual assets seized during a major fraud and gambling investigation being transferred to the National Agency for Asset Recovery and Management (ARMA).
However, a specific mention of a gambling equipment seizure worth over 1 million UAH did not surface during my search for detailed information on this ongoing investigation. For the most accurate and up-to-date details, it's advisable to look to directly-sourced Ukrainian legal or law enforcement materials.
