As the probe into the activities surrounding Jack Lam’s Philippine casino closure, raid and detainment of over 1,300 illegal Chinese workers and subsequent corruption investigation, deepens, one of the former Philippines Immigration Bureau’s officers accused of extorting Macau businessman Jack Lam questioned why the country’s authorities hadn’t yet filed corruption charges against the gaming tycoon, as reported by CNN Philippines.
According to Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre, the Philippines authorities have only filed an illegal gambling case via the Justice Department’s cybercrime division, relating to the undocumented workers at the illegal online gaming business set up at Lam’s casino-resort in Clark, Philippines, with no bribery charges yet filed.
During a Senate hearing, former Immigration official Al Argosino continued to deny accusations made against him and fellow official Michael Robles of extorting 50 million pesos (MOP8 million/US$1 million) from Mr. Lam for the release of the 1,300-plus undocumented Chinese workers arrested last year at his Fontana Leisure Parks and Casino property in Clark on Luzon Island.
Video evidence was also shown in the Senate audit of the two officials receiving 15 million pesos in paper bags from Mr. Lam’s alleged middlemen, Wally Sombero, at City of Dreams Manila.
However, Argosino is sticking to his version that it was Lam who proffered a bribe to the two officials, with part of the money kept as evidence of the investigation made against the businessman.
