Federal prosecutors said Friday that 11 people across Alabama have been charged with tax evasion, illegal operation, and money laundering activities in connection to an online sports betting organization.
According to AP, prosecutors said that the defendants operated the Red44 sports betting organization. The defendants confirmed that the online organization was run by an offshore server located in Costa Rica and that it was involved in sports betting activities, which are illegal in the state. Prosecutors have filed an indictment in Birmingham with as many as 114 counts including charges of tax evasion, an illicit association in running an illegal sports-betting organization.
