Authorities in Dnipro shut down an illegal casino with a turnover exceeding 2 billion hryvnias (PHOTOS, VIDEO).

In Dnipro, law enforcement officials uncovered the leaders of a private enterprise that organized the operation of an illegal online casino, according to "Vidomo" citing the National Police.

It was established that the company officials submitted false information to the official registry of licenses maintained by KRAIL. Subsequently, under the guise of a misleading license, they began to provide illegal access to gambling activities.

Police determined that the online casino had been operating since 2021. Its activities were primarily directed at citizens of Ukraine, as well as those from Europe and Asia. The turnover amounted to approximately 2 billion UAH per year.

For transactions, the suspects utilized cryptocurrency along with international payment systems. Notably, they published job advertisements for croupiers on well-known online platforms in Ukraine, disguising the positions as television presenters or studio administrators.

Subsequently, the funds obtained from illegal online gambling activities were laundered through various schemes.

With the support of the special unit TOR of the Patrol Police Department, the police conducted a search at the actual location of the premises in Dnipro, from which access to gambling was provided. Over 120 individuals were found in several large gaming halls, facilitating the operation of the online casino. More than 60 gaming tables and roulette wheels, decks of cards, and gaming dice were seized, along with servers, computer equipment, and other evidence of illegal activities.
