Illegal casino in a residential building was closed in the Russian city

In the Petrograd district of St. Petersburg, law enforcement officers stopped the work of an underground casino. This was reported in the city Investigative Committee.

According to the Ministry, a criminal case was initiated under part 3 of article 171.2 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation. This rule applies to the illegal organization and conduct of gambling committed by an organized group. Four people were arrested on suspicion of the crime.

The investigation believes that in November, a 35-year-old local resident opened an illegal casino in one of the apartments. He bought the equipment and brought in three friends. The roles were distributed clearly: one was looking for customers, the second guarded the room, the third led the cash register and accounting.
