Wynn Macau violated law for disclosing ex-PAGCOR exec’s info: court

It’s payback time for a former Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) executive after a Macau court upheld his claim that Wynn Macau violated the law for disclosing his personal information behind his back.

On Wednesday, the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR) Court of First Appeal ruled that Wynn Macau violated the law when it shared the personal data of former PAGCOR official Rogelio Yusi Bangsil Jr. with a U.S. law firm investigating the alleged misconduct of Japanese gaming mogul Kazuo Okada.

Prosecution lawyer José Leitão told Macau News Agency (MNA) that “the court confirmed that the act [of Wynn Macau] was committed in violation of the Macau Personal Data Protection Act.”

The confirmation was made a day after Wynn Resorts informed a Nevada court that it would no longer pursue claims of breach of fiduciary responsibility and other offenses against Okada.
