Armenian bookmaking company charged with illegal activity

The director of the Armenian bookmaking company was charged with illegal activity as he failed to renew the licence.

Armenia.- Armenia’s State Revenue Committee’s investigative department has revealed that it uncovered fraudulent activity at the Eurofootball Bookmaking Company. The director of the Armenian bookmaking company has been charged with illegal business activity accusations.

According to local media, investigators revealed that the director failed to renew the license of Eurofootball Bookmaking Company. He kept operating for months and therefore it also owes the state the duties and taxes it should have paid.

Furthermore, the investigators said that the director of the Armenian bookmaking company also filed false paperwork for his Yerevan office. This led to approximately €3.5k in damages. While the director has been already charged, State Revenue Committee’s investigators said that the probe will continue.
