The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) refers to reports published in sections of the media in relation to the seizing of millions in assets from a criminal organisation.

The Authority would like to clarify that the individual being named at the centre of the operation, Antonio Ricci, has no connection with the MGA and he does not, in any capacity, form part of the ownership structures of any gaming company that is licensed by the MGA.

The Authority continuously liaises with both local and foreign authorities and will continue to monitor any further developments.
