Singapore starts probe into casinos

Singapore said Friday it has kicked off a probe into alleged "illegal activities" in two casinos, including claims about unlicensed "junket" operators.
The Casino Regulatory Authority said it "has to-date received some information alleging illegal activities in the casinos".
"The authorities take these allegations seriously and have initiated investigations. It would be inappropriate at this time to comment further on this matter."
The Business Times said Sheldon Adelson, who owns the Marina Bay Sands casino complex, had raised concerns about junket operators after uncovering a mystery $5 million-dollar transfer between Macau and Singapore through Marina Bay Sands.
