The attorney General believes a total ban is ineffective.
Prosecutor General Yury Lutsenko stated the need to repeal the ban on the activities of casinos in Ukraine.
About it reports “Interfax”.
Lutsenko noted that “total prohibition of gambling business in Ukraine is similar to the action of “dry law” in America, which contributed to the development of the mafia and government corruption”
“We need to allow for official work casinos in 5-star hotels, i.e. in elite institutions, where will never get students and ordinary Ukrainians. This is my personal opinion,” he said.
The attorney General said that the gaming machines of the type “one-armed bandit” needs to be under the strict control of fiscal services.
“We need to distinguish between what is socially dangerous and what is not socially dangerous, and to allow something that is not socially dangerous”, – Lutsenko added.
