Illegal Gaming Venues Thriving in Almaty Spite of Ban
Almaty's Underground Gambling Clubs Busted Despite Lockdown:
In the murky shadows of Almaty last night, authorities uncovered a trove of illicit gambling dens, blatantly flouting the city's chief sanitary doctor's decree. Agents from the monitoring group in Auezovsky district put the heat on two club owners and a billiard hall admin, slapping them with administrative penalties for welcoming patrons past midnight—all while the rest of Almaty slumbered, report Almaty.tv.
"Business owners in the hospitality sector blatantly ignore sanitation norms, resulting in administrative action. During our stakeout, we nabbed two clubs and one billiard hall, and we'll be assembling a case against each," explained Ruslan Turyunbekov, a specialist from Auezovsky district's entrepreneurship department.
It's worth pointing out that, during quarantine, a whopping 434 citations were issued to small-to-medium-sized business owners in Auezovsky district alone for scoffing at sanitary regulations.
When it comes to underground gambling hubs in Almaty during quarantine, here's the skinny:
- Raids and Identification: Law enforcement went after these subterranean gambling dens, rooting them out during targeted raids.
- Fines and Penalties: You can bet your bottom dollar that operators of these illegal gambling joints received stiff administrative fines according to Kazakhstan's administrative codes—that piece of cake involves sanctioning illicit businesses and health violation offenses.
- Closure Orders: Once nabbed, these dodgy gambling dens were given the boot, with authorities issuing closure orders to shut them down for good.
- Step Up Patrols: To ensure these grimy gambling clubs wouldn't reopen their doors, district police ramped up patrols and monitoring to crack down on any attempts at game-playing.
- Public Education: Awareness campaigns were launched to spoon-feed the public the dangers and legal repercussions of gambling during quarantine.
The Auezovsky District, nestled in Almaty, has been a hotspot for these illicit gambling operations during the quarantine period.
