Italy’s land-based gambling sector will continue in a state of limbo, as the government is unwilling to sign-off on the final terms of its long-awaited retail reorganization.
A two-year negotiation between the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces has broken down on the final settlement of the Decreto di Riordino del Gioco Fisico.
As last week concluded, reports in Rome spread that the final terms of the decree had been rejected by the office of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and were sent back to the MEF for further consideration.
Meloni’s Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, Alfredo Mantovano, confirmed to AgiProNews that any final decree would not change minimum distance protections in place by regional authorities.
