The withdrawal was filed on August 19, 2026, in the records of the pending case at the Lazio Regional Administrative Court. The news was reported by Agipronews, which consulted the Administrative Court file.
With the filing of the declaration, the request to suspend the effects of the challenged measure on a precautionary basis would cease, while the possibility for Polymarket to continue the appeal on the merits against the Adm decision would remain.

The previous rejection
The move comes two weeks after the Lazio Regional Administrative Court had already examined and rejected an initial urgent suspension request submitted by the platform. The judge had considered that the matter required further examination in a collegiate session, excluding the presence of the conditions for an immediate suspension by the president of the Fourth Section Ter alone. It should be remembered that the Court did not rule on the legitimacy of the Adm measure but limited itself to postponing the evaluation due to the lack of the extreme urgency requirement.
The council chamber was then scheduled for August 25, 2026, the date on which the panel was to examine the precautionary request. With the withdrawal filed on August 19, the timing of the decision will now depend on the subsequent scheduling of the merits procedure.
