The Swedish Lottery Inspectorate has slapped a penalty of SEK8m (€778,000) on Casino Cosmopol, the subsidiary of Svenska Spel, for money laundering failings.

The lottery inspectorate has identified shortcoming in the money-laundering prevention measures of the company, which operates casinos at Sundsvall, Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm.

Casino Cosmopol president Per Jaldung said: “Our anti-money laundering measures are an ongoing development work that we continually improve. In dialogue with the Lottery Inspectorate, we have stated that we are in an implementation and development phase. We are aware of the improvements that need to be made, we have a plan for this and it is the top priority for our business. We respect the Lottery Inspectorate’s decision but are also somewhat surprised because our view is that we have been transparent and had a good dialogue about our plan for money laundering.”
