For two years, he had succeeded in convincing the owner of a PMU bar to cash the checks and return him a sum in cash.

The PMU boss was fined 10,000 euros, including 7,000 euros in repayment of damages.

Prosecuted for concealment, the four players have accumulated 10,400 euros in damages and 4,000 euros in fines.
