MORE GAMBLING EXECUTIVES ARRESTED

This time it's the French arresting the Austrians

Breaking news late Friday is that French authorities have detained two senior Austrian gambling executives for questioning on alleged gaming law violations in France.

The major Vienna-listed better group Bwin's co-chief executives Manfred Bodner and Norbert Teufelberger were arrested whilst on a business trip relating to the group's sponsorship of AS Monaco football club, a company spokesman said Friday afternoon, adding that a hearing was scheduled for a Nice court Saturday morning.

Trading on Bwin's shares has been suspended in Vienna.

News on the arrests was sparse as we went to press, and the situation is being monitored.

Adding to the bad news in Europe, reports are emerging that Bavaria has become the third German state to ban Bwin from taking wagers on sports bets.
