An executive chef of a local gaming company’s food and beverage department has been reported by the company to Macau’s Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) due to an alleged bribery case.
The report said that the executive chef had been found soliciting bribes from workers for many years, violating the law as well as the company’s internal code of conduct, according to the SAR’s anti-corruption body.
Upon investigating the case, the CCAC found that the executive chef had the power to recruit, dismiss and promote workers of the department. By taking advantage of his capacity, he repeatedly asked for his subordinates to “show respect to” him by soliciting “fees” from several of them every month between September 2020 and February 2023 as kickback for recommending workers for entering the company and renewing their contracts, with an amount totalling MOP 240,000.
The executive has meanwhile been dismissed from his job. The CCAC did not indicate which gaming enterprise has been involved in this case.
