Yesterday, the State Police enforced an immediate license revocation for a betting shop located in piazza della Tessitrice, Como. This measure, carried out under Article 100, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Law on Public Security, followed thorough investigations and administrative inquiries by the Police Division of the Como Headquarters.
Authorities discovered that the establishment, already subject to temporary suspension orders in October 2023 and August 2024, failed to implement the necessary measures for proper management. Inspections revealed potentially dangerous situations linked to the presence of individuals with criminal records and a lack of owner responsibility.
A broader strategy for public order
This decision is part of an intensified effort by the Como Police Headquarters to ensure public safety in high-risk establishments. Just yesterday, a slot machine hall in via Anzani was shut down, and today’s action against the betting shop reflects the same commitment.
The Questura di Como, under the leadership of Questore Marco Calì, aims to prevent public venues from becoming gathering spots for dangerous individuals, protecting the community and maintaining order.
The Questore’s stance and future measures
Questore Marco Calì, acting as the Provincial Authority for Public Security, stressed the importance of responsible management by business operators. The decision to revoke the license was swiftly implemented by the Administrative and Security Police Division to safeguard public safety effectively.
