A criminal gang dedicated to the extortion of gambling halls, was dismantled by the Andalusian police.
The detainees, by presenting false personal documentation or those belonging to third parties, obtained access to these gambling halls and subsequently threatened those responsible for allowing entry to users supposedly registered in the registry of people with gambling addiction problems and demanded the payment of up to € 30,000 for not filing a complaint.

The Junta de Andalucía has a registry available by virtue of which any person with gambling addiction problems can request registration for registration and control of access to gambling establishments. And it is there, precisely, where the essence of the criminal activity of these four people lies, who are also accused of belonging to a criminal group.
