The spokesman for the National Guard, Houcem Eddine Jebabli, said that the National Guard units have searched in 650 sports betting stores, leading to the seizure of 30 million dinars.
He added that foreign and digital currencies have been seized, explaining that there are companies that have obtained a license to provide IT or information services, but in reality they practice sports betting.
He also said that a certain number of sports betting companies have been able to transfer their funds abroad, legal, through the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT), noting that survey and monitoring operations have proven the existence of companies certainly approved, but the tasks they perform do not correspond to their income.
The spokesperson for the National Guard highlighted the existence of large sums of money and cars, and “therefore, the crimes were equivalent to money laundering and tax evasion”.
