一 | Sydney, Oct 17 (UNI) Australian gambling giant Star Entertainment Group has been fined $62 million for failing to stop money laundering at its Sydney casino.
The group's licence to operate the casino has also been suspended. The record penalties were announced in response to a damning inquiry in New South Wales (NSW) earlier this year, the BBC said.
The fine announced on Monday is the maximum allowed, but the regulator stopped short of removing Star's licence altogether, to protect thousands of jobs. Under the conditions of the suspension, the casino will still operate under a manager appointed by the regulator.
From Friday the Star will not be able to run the casino on its own until it can "earn" its licence back, NSW Independent Casino Commission chief Philip Crawford said.
The inquiry earlier this year led to the resignations of Star's former chief executive Matt Bekier.
Its final report, handed down last month, found the Star was not fit to hold a casino licence in NSW.
Casino operators in Australia have been under great pressure to reform their gambling operations following reports of widespread criminal activity.
A public inquiry earlier this year heard the Star had allowed money laundering and organised crime to infiltrate their Sydney casino, taking a "cavalier" approach to governance and at times making deliberate steps to cover its tracks.
In response to the report, the Star Entertainment Group said it had taken "significant and urgent remedial steps" and would do "whatever necessary" to restore its suitability to run the casino.
The Star entered a trading halt on Monday morning, which is set to last until Wednesday.
After a similar inquiry in Queensland, The Star was earlier this month also found unsuitable to run its three casinos in that state.
Media investigations have aired allegations of misconduct at various casinos around Australia in recent years, including at those owned by the country's largest gaming and entertainment group - Crown Resorts.

三 | 记者：阿根廷世界杯的处罚出来了，几名球员被禁赛，帕雷德斯禁10场，你和他谈过了吗？你怎么看这件事？迪马利亚说道：“是的，我经常和他交流，但没什么。我觉得这太夸张了，处罚场次肯定最终会减少，对所有球员都是如此，不只是对帕雷德斯，莫利纳也一样。我觉得这（处罚）是会发生的事情，因为他们最后时刻起了肢体冲突，但这一切确实过于夸大了。
