Abstract

In recent years it has been noticed a change in the treatment given by the criminal persecution entities in cases of slot machine seizures at low income shops. In past times, the owners of such shops were accused for the misdemeanor of gambling exploitation, or charged with a criminal offense against the popular economy, while nowadays they are arrested in flagrante delicto, indicted and charged with committing the crime of
smuggling, subject to considerably stricter punishment. This change of attitude is actually a result of a criminal policy adopted by the State, which believes that it is fighting crime this way, endorsed by the Judiciary, in spite of all the obstacles that makes it difficult to define the acts of the shop owner as the actus reus of smuggling. An analysis of these obstacles is needed in order to encourage a change of the case law, which certainly would result in the change of the above mentioned disastrous criminal policy.
