The Malta Gaming Authority takes exception to the speculative and senseless article entitled ‘Mafia planned to infiltrate Malta gaming companies ‒ Italian police in Palermo raids’ (December 15).

The article is intended solely to harm Malta’s reputation as a gaming jurisdiction. If such alleged plans to relocate underground activities to Malta were true (as reported in the article), these would have likely failed from a “fit and properness” standpoint since our rigorous due diligence process, criminal probity investigations and intelligence gathering activities when on-boarding new licensees are of a high standard and would have immediately red flagged such attempts.
