A MACAU businessman is a joint-venture partner in a consortium embroiled in a bribery scandal over a failed bid to open a multimillion-dollar casino in Mongolia.
Wong Cheng-wai, managing director of the Macau-based Iao Tat Group International Investment Company Ltd, was listed as a director of the Macau-Mongolian joint venture.
In the resume he gave to the Mongolian authorities to back his tender offer - obtained by the Sunday Morning Post - Mr Wong claims to hold executive positions in Macau casinos which the enclave's gambling chiefs say do not exist.
Three Mongolian parliamentarians have been arrested over corruption allegations which involve the bid for the proposed casino in an Ulan Bator hotel.
The resume also says Mr Wong is vice-president of the Fujian Business Association in Macau. Macau sources said a number of Fujianese business and community associations existed in the enclave.
Last year, Mr Wong's company, MonMacau, was awarded the exclusive licence to operate a casino in the Mongolian capital for 10 years and a casino in the upmarket Chenggis Khan Hotel was ordered to close.
