After the entry into force of the law on the closure of gambling at January 1, 2019, seems that not all the subjects have implemented it. Tirana police say two subjects have not implemented the law by continuing their activity. For this reason, their two owners have been prosecuted.
They are accused of "Organising unauthorised lotteries" and "Making available illegal playrooms".
Police announce that full control will be exercised throughout the Tirana district, not allowing any sports bets, which is already illegal from January 1.
