Dutch Poker Homes Raided
05th of February 2007
The world of poker seems to be shrinking in many ways, including the feeling among many poker players of being persecuted by their respective governments. With the U.S. Department of Justice now sending subpoenas to overseas banks about online gambling companies, the Dutch Department of Justice is doing their own part against poker closer to home. Twice in one month police raided private homes hosting small poker tournaments, and in the second instance players and police both resorted to violence. In both cases, the organizers of the tournaments served jail time and have future court dates.
