Australia's Crown Resorts 'equivocal' over misconduct findings, says new inquiry

SYDNEY: Casino company Crown Resorts 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.

In opening remarks at the Victoria inquiry on Wednesday , the retired federal court judge presiding over hearings, Ray Finkelstein, said he had written to Crown to ask if it accepted the Sydney findings in the hope of avoiding repetition. "The Crown companies do not accept, in terms, the findings made," Finkelstein added. He noted the"disagreement ... may not be material" since the company's"objection ... goes to the deliberateness or wilfulness of the concerned conduct".

The New South Wales Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority, which commissioned the Sydney inquiry and has suspended Crown's licence, was not immediately available for comment.
