A supervisor at a Macau gaming business has been investigated on suspicion of receiving bribes from work applicants, particularly mainland Chinese residents, with amounts reaching RMB 190,000 ($26,122). 

According to a report by Macau’s Commission Against Corruption (CCAC), the commission had received a complaint from a local that revealed “some workers at an integrated resort enterprise of Macau had disclosed that they had paid placement fees in order to be recruited as stewards.” 

The investigations showed that the suspect was indeed a supervisor of the stewarding department responsible for personnel recruitment. Said supervisor would accept bribes amounting to nearly RMB 190,000 in the form of placement fees from the applicants and in return provided placements for them in said business, regardless of the applicants' suitability for the role.

Under the Prevention and Suppression of Bribery in the Private Sector rule, the aforementioned supervisor and his accomplices, namely his cohabiting girlfriend and the middleman, were suspected to have committed passive bribery in the private sector and the nine Chinese mainland residents who paid said placement fees were suspected to have committed active bribery in the private sector. The case has since been referred to the Public Prosecutions Office.

Just yesterday, Macau Police busted a cross-border illegal gambling syndicate, in which 50 people were arrested and RMB 1bn ($13m) recovered.
