Star in the spotlight
Sydney’s Star Casino operators will face public hearings next March following allegations the company enabled criminal activities, NSW’s Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority said yesterday. Earlier this month, a Sydney Morning Herald/60 Minutes investigation alleged money laundering and the hosting of high-rolling crime figures at its casinos in Sydney, Brissie and the Goldie – something the company’s top people were warned about in 2018. The inquiry will investigate those allegations to determine whether Star is suitable to hold a casino licence in NSW. Star said it was “concerned” by the “misleading” allegations, but it “will take the appropriate steps” to address them with regulators.
