Argentina court hands first jail sentence to Miljugadas owner
The Prosecutor’s Office of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires imposed a three-year prison sentence on Thursday for the organization and exploitation of three websites of illegal online gambling , Miljugadas.com, Miljugadas2.com and Miljugadas55.com.
The accused is an English citizen who has resided for years in Posadas, Misiones, and created in the country the companies Eligra Solutions SRL and Miljugadas SRL to give the necessary structure to the illicit activity.
“The penalty of three years in prison to Mr. Marshall, who formed the companies Eligra Solutions SRL and Miljugadas SRL to give the necessary structure to the illicit activity, will be suspended due to his lack of precedents,” reports the statement from the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
In this sense, Marshall must comply for two years with the following obligations: “set residence, comply with the summons to be made and give notice of departure from the country and the date of his return in case of travel abroad.” The Prosecutor’s Office informed that in the event of inflicting any of these measures, “the conditionality of the penalty will be automatically revoked, proceeding to its capture and transfer to the corresponding jail for the effective enforcement of the prison sentence.”
The Chamber Prosecutor Martín Lapadú considered that “it is very positive to have achieved this unprecedented sentence in our country. A great incentive to deepen the investigation of more than 180 cases of illegal websites, for which we already obtained more than 130 court orders of national blockades, in addition to the lowering of Internet domains such as Spingol.com and Misionbet.com.
