Suspected criminals are Star gamblers

''Unfortunately, records kept by the casino in respect to table games are inadequate, unreliable, or of little or no evidentiary value with the exception of payout records which, whilst accurate, generally only provide a reasonable excuse to criminals who have laundered money.
''The Asian crime squad has, and continues to, receive information [through covert means that prevent its disclosure] in relation to money laundering, loan sharking, recruitment of persons into organised crime and of certain individuals working at the casino.
''That information obtained has not led to the detection of… corruption among the operators of the casino.''
The report said the Asian crime squad frequently seeks the assistance of the casino operator during investigations and the ''operator has been receptive to the squad's needs and when possible has assisted the NSW police force investigation''.
A spokesman for the Star said: "Management acknowledges that a company the size of the Star has to remain vigilant against illegal and undesirable behaviour to ensure the casino remains a safe environment for its customers.
