Summary:
The present master thesis attempts to systematically analyze and interpret the criminal provisions of law n. 4002/2011, and namely of article 52 of which. Gambling is a rapidly growing economic activity in the Greek market, however the legal regime governing any type of gambling is relatively cloudy, especially after the repeal of Law n.3037/2002, so the exhaustive classification of crimes and games concerned, consists an emergent need. Moreover, the above legislative texts, according to the author, are expected to become even more relevant from August 2020 onwards, given that for first time, ten years after the law’s publication, the Gambling Regulation was adopted and the granting of final licenses to interested providers has already began. In addition, in many cases the unbearable penalties threatened by law 4002/2011 raise issues of their possible incompatibility with the constitutional principle of proportionality. Guided by the criminal dogma but also the extremely important case law of the WEU, the purpose of the writer, in addition to recording and interpreting the offenses provided is to examine the legality of the legislative framework, an issue which is imperative for the lawful and effective implementation of provisions by national courts.
