Criminal investigation department director Abd Jalil Hassan said police also seized betting money totalling RM115,132 and various equipment including electronic devices used to record stakes, such as 24 computers, 11 laptops, 166 mobile phones and nine Euro 2020 match schedule lists.

“The main focus of the enforcement operation is to curb and combat this activity, and act against bookies or punters, as well as the places that organise the Euro 2020 gambling,” he said in a statement today.

Abd Jalil said most of the gambling activities were carried out online due to the movement control order to avoid detection by the authorities.

He said police would intensify its monitoring to prevent Euro 2020 illegal betting, and called on the public to forward any information on the activity.
