Tiger Resorts exec faces perjury raps over Okada Manila LED lights

The tables have turned for casino operator Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment Inc. (TRLEI) as the legal saga over the $4.5 million supply contract of LED lights in Okada Manila continued.

Aruze Philippines Manufacturing Inc. (APMI) recently lodged perjury complaints against TRLEI chief executive advisor Dindo Espeleta who it accused of making false statements that became the basis for the casino operator’s fraud charges against the gaming device maker, according to The Manila Bulletin.

The perjury complaint against the TRLEI executive were filed a month after the Philippine prosecutors dismissed the perjury and fraud cases that Universal Entertainment filed against Japanese gaming mogul Kazuo Okada.

In its 16-page complaint, APMI president Tetsuya Yokota claimed that Espeleta committed perjury in several instances wherein the respondent “willfully and deliberately made an assertion of falsehood.”
