excerpt:

Late last month in Barcelona, Spanish undercover police raided an event held by CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com (CAP) called the Affiliate Series of Poker (ASOP). Now, roughly a week after the incident occurred, CAP has issued an official statement on the raid.

According to the release, CAP made every effort to abide by the local Spanish laws and was caught off-guard by the police action. Furthermore, CAP legal representatives had allegedly cleared all legal issues prior to the event, making it clear it was a private freeroll-style tournament that was not open to the public.

“We don’t put these tournaments on without permission, which is exactly why we have a specific registration system and a number of checks that affiliates go through to gain the password. This is on top of a number of other components to ensure we run an event that is completely legal,” said Alex Pratt, an organizer for CAP Euro.
