In a report tabled in NSW parliament in February, former judge Patricia Bergin found that Crown Resorts was not fit to run the gigantic new casino it has built at Barangaroo, on Sydney Harbour, but set out a pathway for the company to become a suitable operator.
Bergin found that Crown facilitated money laundering that took place at its existing casinos in Melbourne and Perth, and that junket operators who brought in high-rolling gamblers had links to organised crime.
She also criticised Packerâs influence over Crown when he was not on the board of the company, which included a secret agreement under which the company shared information with him that was not available to other shareholders, and his close involvement with the VIP gambling division, which handled the junkets.
