CBA chairman Taleh Kazimov says large amounts of money are being transferred abroad through unlicensed gambling.
Azerbaijan.- The Central Bank of Azerbaijan has raised concerns over the growing flow of money linked to illegal gambling operations. It’s warned that a considerable amount of money is being transferred abroad through unauthorised betting activity.
Speaking during a press conference, CBA chairman, Taleh Kazimov, said some individuals are opening bank card accounts and allowing others to use them to participate in gambling activities offered by foreign operators. “Extremely large amounts are being transferred abroad,” he said, adding that the volume of these payments already reaches “millions of manats.”
Kazimov stated that banks and financial institutions must report suspicious activity to the country’s Financial Monitoring Service and avoid acting as intermediaries for illegal funds.
In March, the cybercrime division of the Interior Ministry shut down an unlicensed online casino network and arrested four people accused of working with overseas gambling websites. Investigators said the suspects promoted illegal platforms through social media and operated virtual cash desks inside Azerbaijan. Authorities reportedly seized electronic devices, bank cards and mobile phones during the operation.
