MGA CEO Meets with Director of Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency

Benedetto Mineo, Director of Customs and Monopolies Agency in Italy, has welcomed and met with CEO of the Malta Gaming Authority, Heathcliff Farrugia, at the Agency’s Headquarters in Piazza Mastai, Italy.

The meeting was part of a strategy to strengthen the collaboration between the two entities responsible for overseeing the supervision and regulation of legal gambling.

The discussion focused mainly on existing legislation and regulations relating to both land-based and online gaming found in the two jurisdictions. These discussions are fundamental for sharing and enhancing best administrative practices and to collaboratively combat the phenomenon of illicit gambling.

The ongoing collaboration between both parties will resume in the nearby future and a Memorandum of Understanding designed to further enhance information sharing and to bolster compliance measures, is in the pipeline.
