Berlin court refuses to halt €250,000 GGL penalty against rapper Capital Bra over gambling promotion
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
A Berlin administrative court refused to suspend enforcement of a €250,000 coercive payment imposed on rapper Capital Bra by Germany's gambling authority, the GGL. The authority alleges he filmed himself playing, and promoted, unlicensed online gambling on his social channels. Deadlines have passed so the payment is due, though he can still appeal and the main case has no decision date; his lawyer calls the orders unlawful and cites EU law.
Why it matters
The penalty is due despite a possible appeal, showing the GGL can enforce against alleged promotion of unlicensed gambling.
