KUALA LUMPUR: Two men have been arrested for facilitating betting on Euro 2024 football matches.
The men were detained following raids on condominiums on Jalan Genting-Klang and Taman Wahyu on Saturday morning.
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department's Anti-Vice, Gambling and Secret Societies Division (D7) principal assistant director Senior Assistant Commissioner Mohamad Farouk Eshak today said the two men were picked up for allegedly organising betting activities and were paid between RM3,000 and RM5,000.
"We conducted intelligence gathering on a website believed to be taking bets for Euro 2024 matches.
"The suspects were paid monthly and the syndicate made at least RM12,000 daily," he said when contacted.
He said the suspects were believed to have been operating around the clock to manage bets.
