CrimeaPRESS reports:
Crimean police officers stopped the activities of a criminal group that organized an illegal gambling business in Simferopol.
Employees of the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in Simferopol stopped the activities of a group whose members were conducting illegal gambling. The gambling hall was located on Kievskaya Street, where, using computer equipment and the Internet, money was played on the principle of an electronic casino slot machine— said the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Crimea.
It was established that the establishment operated in compliance with the conditions of secrecy: access to the club was possible only by calling in advance or by recommendation. Despite careful attempts to hide the illegal business, operatives, with the force support of the special forces of the Russian Guard, managed to suppress the activities of the criminal group and detain its members.
Police officers seized 22 computers, funds received that day from clients in the amount of 122 thousand rubles, several mobile phones, a tablet and rough notes of operational interest.
6 people were identified who were carrying out the illegal business: a 22-year-old organizer and two security guards who arrived in Crimea from another subject of the Russian Federation, as well as three local female administrators. The gambling establishment operated in Simferopol for several months, during which time, according to preliminary data, its income could amount to more than 7 million rubles,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Crimea clarified.
The materials collected by the police officers were transferred to the investigative authorities for making a procedural decision.
As the Investigative Committee clarified, the operation of the gaming hall on Kievskaya was stopped on May 16 as a result of events carried out in cooperation with operational officers of the Economic Security and Internal Affairs Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the city of Simferopol with the force support of the special forces of the Russian Guard.
During the searches that were carried out at the club premises and at the places of residence of their employees, computer equipment, cash, accounting documentation and visitor logs were confiscated.
It was established that the criminal group received an especially large amount of income from illegal gambling — more than 10 million rubles. All defendants admitted their involvement in the crime. All participants in the gambling business have been charged with committing a group crime. Two defendants were given a preventive measure in the form of detention, the rest — in accordance with their functions— said the Sledkom.
Currently, the investigation is establishing the circumstances of the crime committed and the entire circle of persons involved in it.
