(This document has been re-formatted for the Internet)
We, the members of the Twelfth Statewide Grand Jury, have investigated the activities of twelve commercial bingo halls in the State of Florida. We heard testimony and reviewed evidence concerning numerous violations of Florida law. As a result, we issued indictments charging nine individuals and ten business entities with Racketeering, Conspiracy to Commit Racketeering, Maintaining An Illegal Gambling House, Illegal Operation of Lottery, and Failure to Collect Sales Taxes. We are aware that the Attorney General will be pursuing civil injunctions and other remedies to disrupt the illegal commercial bingo businesses we investigated. It is our considered opinion that the commercial bingo operations under investigation have demonstrated total disregard for the laws enacted to prevent illegal gambling in this State.
