France’s Partouche Groupe, including some of its casino directors, stand accused of money laundering and embezzlement because they did not declare the full value of bets being made during poker games.
In some cases bets that were twenty times higher than was declared were made, according to accusations made in court. This allowed the company to avoid large amounts of taxes. Two players are also accused.
The Partouche Group has vowed to fight the charges.
