A failure by Star's ex-head to "blow the trumpet" on criminal risks presented by overseas gamblers has led to a $700,000 fine after a judge almost halved a sought-after penalty.
Former Star chief executive Matthias Bekier failed to inform the company's board of suspicious conduct committed by Chinese junket operator Suncity in 2018 and 2019, the Federal Court found in March.
Mr Bekier and former Star general counsel Paula Martin have been successfully sued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for breaches of their duties.
