As we already mentioned in our last newsletter, in the context of several preliminary procedures, the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) asked the local regulatory authorities not to take any measures against agents of sporting bets anymore. Despite this clear request issued by the highest German court, even during the last weeks many state authorities (especially those in Hessia, Bavaria and North-Rhine Westphalia) have kept trying to enforce so called orders of interdiction (Untersagungsverfügungen) by force, threatening to seal betting shops and to take away computers and printers.
