TURF ACCOUNTANT Ladbrokes has complained to the Finnish Chancellor of Justice because it claims the Ministry of the Interior is hindering Internet gambling in the country.
according to the Helsingin Sanomat, the British bookie claims that there's nothing in Finnish law to stop it marketing its Internet gambling service.
Finland is a member of the Eurocratic Union, and earlier this year a court ruled that it, like Greece and Italy, have no legal legs to stand on to stop Infernet gambling.
But The Netherlands, on the other hand, veto Infernet gambling, although spliffs are ten a florin in Amsterdam.
The Ministry claims it's preventing Ladbrokes from marketing Internet gambling in line with its own legislation. µ
