Outgoing Star CEO Matt Bekier was aware that a high roller patronising its Sydney casino was reportedly under investigation by the federal police for money laundering but allowed the person to gamble anyway, an inquiry has heard.
Star’s top corporate legal eagle Oliver White told the inquiry on Wednesday that he informed Mr Bekier that the patron had been advanced $100,000 at the Star via its China UnionPay (CUP) scheme and was currently flying to the Sydney casino.
