the raids?
"As well as having clear connections to organised crime, illegal soccer gambling is also linked with corruption, money laundering and prostitution," he said, declaring a blow had been struck against underworld gangs.

#3"officers had raided more than 800 illegal gambling dens that had handled more than 155 million dollars in bets."
these are people who accept bets,acting as a bookmaker, not people who place wagers.
Interpol executive director Jean-Michel Louboutin: "As well as having clear connections
to organised crime, illegal soccer gambling is also linked with corruption, money laundering and prostitution".
THIS GUY KNOWS VERY WELL THAT GAMBLING IS NOT CONSIDERED A CRIME FROM THE SOCIETY'S POINT OF VIEW,AND HE MUST LINK IT WITH REAL CRIMES TO SUPPORT HIS ACTIONS.
Doing this everything can be a crime if you link it with real crimes.
Does the Interpol director know that only the law can define what is a crime?Comment -

#6"As well as having clear connections to organised crime, illegal soccer gambling is also linked with corruption, money laundering and prostitution," he said, declaring a blow had been struck against underworld gangs.
"The information gathered will now be reviewed and analysed to determine the potential involvement of other individuals or gangs across the region and beyond," he warned.
My person favorite quote of the story:
In Malaysia, for example, sports betting was only made legal last month -- angering conservative Islamists -- but the licences were not ready in time for the World Cup and a police task force was assigned to lead a crackdown.
Lastly, why are there so many misspelled words in this article?

#7in some jurisdictions all betting is illegal
in others there are legal operators with whom you can bet
in most there are illegal operators
illegal bookies flourish in India, doing massive business on cricket
the problem always with large illegal operators is that they are connected to criminals .. they simply wouldn't survive otherwiseComment -

#17Looks like the world is now starting to realize what we have known for decades... that gambling, particularly sports betting, will lead to the downfall of society. Many thanks to the government for protecting us from such evil. Now if you will excuse me, I have to swing by 7-11 and pickup some scratch-off tickets on my way to the horse races. After that I think I will stop by one of the bars near my house for some late night interactive Keno.Comment
