SINGAPORE - The Marina Bay Sands (MBS) casino reopened on Thursday (Aug 5), following a two-week closure after a Covid-19 infection cluster was traced to it on July 21. MBS said its casino has implemented various precautionary measures with the reopening, which include an enhanced rostered routine testing regime for staff members who interact with guests.

Australian casino faces probe over money laundering

SYDNEY • Crown Resorts' stock yesterday slumped the most since March after the casino operator said it is being investigated for possible breach of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing rules. Australia's financial crimes regulator has started an enforcement probe into compliance at Crown's flagship Melbourne casino, the company said. Austrac's concerns arose during an assessment that started in September last year and focused on how the casino handled individuals deemed to be high-risk and politically exposed. It is not clear who those people were, but Crown has courted wealthy Asians as part of its programmes for high-stakes gamblers. With Crown's annual meeting set for Thursday, the probe piles pressure on a company already beset by governance failures. A separate inquiry in Sydney has unearthed lapses in anti-money laundering controls and there are growing calls from investors for a board shake-up and more independence from billionaire shareholder James Packer. Crown shares sank 8.23 per cent to close at A$8.25 in Sydney trading. That extended the year's slump to 32 per cent. Crown said it will fully cooperate with Austrac and respond to all information requests...

Crown Resorts says regulator to probe Melbourne casino on money-laundering concerns

BENGALURU (REUTERS) - Casino operator Crown Resorts said on Monday (Oct 19) that Australia's financial crime watchdog had launched a probe into its Melbourne business on suspicions of money-laundering and counter-terrorism financing, sending its shares over 4 per cent lower. The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre's (Austrac) concerns were identified following a review last September of Crown's management of "customers seen as high risk and politically exposed persons," the company said. Austrac did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Crown has been facing separate inquiries in Victoria state, home to its flagship Melbourne casino, and in New South Wales following reports the company did business with "junket" tour operators which brought in gamblers, largely from China, with suspected links to organised crime. At the NSW inquiry earlier this month held to decide whether Crown can keep its licence to operate casinos, company founder and one-third owner, billionaire James Packer, acknowledged a host of corporate governance shortcomings. The company is due to open a new casino in Sydney in two months time. More on this topic Related Story Blacksto...
