The police have cracked down on an illegal gambling club in Skåne after a lengthy surveillance operation. It is suspected that approximately twelve million kronor have been laundered since 2020. Four individuals are suspected of serious economic crimes, writes the Economic Crimes Authority in a press release.

When the police and civilian investigators arrived at the club in Staffanstorp municipality earlier in the week, 13 players were found in the premises. According to the Economic Crimes Authority's estimate, the club has had several hundred members, who were part of a closed group on Facebook.

The four main suspects were initially detained, but have been released since they have been questioned and are not believed to be able to harm the ongoing investigation. They are suspected of serious illegal gambling operations, serious accounting offences, and serious money laundering offences.
