SYDNEY -- The chief executive of Star Entertainment Group, Australia's second-largest casino operator, resigned on Monday after revelations of alleged misconduct involving Chinese high rollers and Macao junket agencies emerged in public hearings.
The exit of Matt Bekier is the latest ripple from investigations into Suncity Group, formerly Macao's largest junket agency, and its role, alongside rivals, in funneling cash from Chinese gamblers through casinos around the Asia-Pacific region.
