Police reports out of Kuala Lumpur have shown a staggering amount of money being lost by illegal gambling operations throughout the country with sports betting taking the lead as the biggest losers. CID Director Comm. Datuk Seri Bakri Zinin said that in World Cup betting alone over $4,183,000,000 was lost because of the raids by police in over 18,897 illegal activities. Also during those raids, over 16 thousand people were arrested!
Other illegal gambling activities have been targeted by the police including “lotteries, book making, common house gambling and open area gambling”. During the month that the World Cup was being played, over 270 raids were preformed with over 4 billion in monies being received in illegal bets for the sport. Determined to rid their country of crime, illegal gambling, and any other crime that cripples their country has become a main focal point for law enforcement.
With such a big set back during the Fifa World Cup games in South Africa back in June, sports betting and the illegal syndicates that promote them have been hit a major blow and hopefully will deter any illegal gaming operators from setting up shop in their country in the future. Raids will continue and money will be lost by all illegal operators for some time to come.
