On 24 November, the Guardian reported that Entain, the owner of Ladbrokes and Coral, has agreed to pay almost £600 million to settle an investigation into alleged bribery at a business it owned in Turkey. The case involved a Turkish-facing online betting and gaming business that Entain owned between 2011 and 2017, as well as the activities of third-party suppliers and former employees of the group. Entain said it reached, in principle, a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the CPS during a hearing at the royal courts of justice and needs final court approval at a hearing to be held on 5 December.
