Casandrino. A clandestine gambling den, a place to gamble away from the spotlight. 7 men of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi origins failed.
It was difficult to remain anonymous, their voices could be heard clearly from the (wide open) door of a building in via Nino Bixio.
We are in Casandrino and the Carabinieri of the local station had already planned a check in that house on the first floor. They arrived in force and, following the great racket, they reached an apartment with the entrance door already open.
Around an oval table, in a bare living room, 7 non-EU citizens were playing cards. The stakes were in plain sight as a centerpiece: piles of cash, banknotes of every denomination.
1200 euros and 5 decks of cards seized
The players noticed the Carabinieri when they were already around them. They tried to hide that money, but the attempt was in vain.
Over 1200 euros and 5 decks of cards were seized. They were all reported for gambling.
