Special follow ups of Adelson’s Case
Singapore’s Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) announced it has started investigating allegations about illegal activities in casinos.
The CRA “has to-date received some information alleging illegal activities in the casinos” and has started investigations, a spokeswoman said in a statement.
The probe comes after Sheldon Adelson, Las Vegas Sands chairman, expressed concerns over the possibility of unlicensed VIP junkets already operating at Singapore’s casinos.
Mr Adelson was reported as saying last week that his company had uncovered a suspicious money transfer between Macau and Singapore via the Marina Bay Sands casino.
“CRA has asked Mr Adelson and Marina Bay Sands to provide further information,” the spokeswoman said.
Editor’s Notes:
We think that with more ‘side information’ released by Adelson, Resorts World Sentosa casino might be implicated on the issue of Pseudo Junket Accounts (i.e. illegal / unlicensed junkets operating in casinos)… if they also play the same game.
