Casino company Crown Resorts Ltd disputed some findings of an inquiry that accused it of enabling money laundering, said the head of a probe into Crown in a second Australian state, an apparent split from the company's public apology for wrongdoing.
Last month, a probity inquiry in the state of New South Wales declared Crown unfit to run a AUS$2.2 billion Sydney casino after finding the company dealt with tour operators linked to organised crime, allowed money laundering and disregarded the safety of a dozen and a half staff jailed in China in 2016 for breaking that country's anti-gambling laws.
The company's letter of reply had not been made public, but"for now it's sufficient for me to point out Crown's response is a little equivocal", Finkelstein said on the first day of hearing. A Crown spokeswoman declined to comment. On Feb. 11, Crown Chair Helen Coonan said in a statement in relation to the Sydney inquiry that"I accept criticism is warranted and reiterate our unreserved apologies for these shortcomings".
