Greek authorities see Stanleybet legal buisness
 November 12, 2008, 5:14 am (1 year ago)The Greek police search on Stanleybet International's new betting shops in Greece subsequent complaints by local monopoly OPAP had a continuation this week while the police set free 3 punters arrested throughout the weekend, together with Stanleybet associates Theodoros Lazaridis and Alexandros Vasdekis. There was no court questioning or accusations laid, showing that there would be no instant trial.
According to Greek media, those senior government administrators had regulated that more examinations be conducted.
Deputy md at Stanleybet, Adrian Morris, stated that the different course taken by the authorities not only permitted the company’s shops to reopen, but was “...a obvious sign that the Greek authorities regard as that our business model is legal under European law, and that there are faults in the Greek’s own preventive local legislation”.
However, the shops might find it hard to right away recommence business because of the elimination of computer and other office gears throughout the course of the police search.
Greek authorities are almost certainly treading lightly on the sensitive question of European Union law and the rule of free movement of goods and services. The country is by now the subject of a last warning from the European Commission, which imposes fulfillment among member nations.
