The entrepreneur Xavier Gabriel, owner among other businesses of the lottery Bruixa d'Or de Sort has announced that prepares the relocation of their companies outside Catalonia because of the political situation. Specifically, according to several agencies have disseminated information, it announced its intention to relocate the headquarters of the lottery business, catering and property tax Navarra and Madrid headquarters.
The decision is related to its positioning against independence, the same Gabriel has made clear in recent days on social networks.
In fact, Gabriel has announced that it has been four complaints for libel to the Mossos d'Esquadra, ensuring that the last days have been the victim of "persecution and threats" for its political stance. Specifically, according to information published in various media, Gabriel was the victim of a smear campaign in which he is accused of being pro-independence and even the father of the deputy of the CUP Anna Gabriel, with the aim, according to this lottery agency, of "damaging the million-dollar lottery sales."
However, the announcement of the transfer of the headquarters of companies can not include the primeval business, the lottery of Sort, because to do so requires a specific permission from the State Society Lotteries and Gambling (SELAE) the entity that manages gaming and betting and the National Lottery, the football pools and lottery Primitiva, among others, and who has the last word on transfers. Administrations lotteries, which were historically state concessions are subject since 2011 to commercial contracts that allow the transfer to third parties and not only among relatives. In addition, changes of address must be subject to prior authorization.
No request transfer
So far, sources consulted by ElNacional.cataseguran SELAE that the administration "has not requested any transfer , " and therefore the administration Bruixa d'Or "continue to exercise its work within the locality where it is located". In any case, the public body reminds lottery administrations "have the right to request the transfer in specific cases, but it is always the SELAE who must authorize".
For this, moreover, it should take into account the location of the new administration and appeals against transfer that could possibly present other lottery administrations in the area, which could be adversely affected by the implementation of a new administration.
Therefore, although Xavier Gabriel announced the transfer of its business, the headquarters of the lottery will, for all purposes, located in Sort.
