ITALIAN ISP ONLINE GAMBLING SITE BLOCK TO BE LEGALLY CHALLENGED
Big-name bookies to tackle ban through the RGA
The Financial Times reports that some of the most powerful betting companies in Europe are set to take on the Italian government in a legal assault that could claim many millions of pounds sterling in damages.
Ladbrokes, William Hill, Betfair and Coral Eurobet are all believed to be among companies that have been blacklisted by the recent arbitrary Italian decree that Internet Service Providers block on line gambling sites.
The Remote Gambling Association, a UK industry trade body, will launch legal action against the legislation through its lawyer SG Berwin in the administrative court of Lazio, the department for Rome.
"This legislation breaches our treaty rights," said RGA chief Clive Hawkswood, who claimed Italy was also in breach of European Commission rules by not notifying the EC of its action.
