Casino di Venezia in Malta was yesterday robbed by 5 armed men who demanded cash from the casino workers. The 5 robbers got away with around €100,000 (probably much more) and then escaped on a speedboat. After that the police heard about the robbery, they rushed to casino with cars, boats and helicopters looking for the robbers speedboat. However, the only thing they have found so far is a car in the sea, which they believe was used by the 5 robbers.
The Swedish Championship of poker is supposed to be played at Casino di Venezia in April this year. Let's hope that this wont effect the tournament and that they will find the 5 robbers as soon as possible.
