Tiger Resort wants Parañaque prosecutor penalized for ‘leakage’ of resolutions


Japanese gaming firm Tiger Resort Leisure & Entertainment Inc. (TRLEI) has requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) to penalize Parañaque City Prosecutor Amerhassan Paudac for supposedly leaking portions of unreleased resolutions.

In a complaint, TRLEI urged Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra to penalize Paudac for his alleged violation of the rules and procedures and the Code of Conduct for Prosecutors.

"[L]ogic dictates that the resolutions disposing the captioned cases could not have been leaked to respondent Okada and/or his close companion without the participation and/or fault of Paudac," the company said.

This comes after unreleased resolutions on cases against Okada were released on the social media accounts of a certain Chloe Kim, said to be a "close companion" of Japanese gaming magnate Kazuo Okada.

TRLEI last month called on Paudac to recuse himself from the estafa cases filed against Okada, who has been accused of embezzling more than $10 million in funds from early 2016 and June 2017.

The firm is the operator of integrated casino resort and hotel complex Okada Manila, from which the billionaire was booted out as chairman last year.

For its part, the DOJ said it will investigate how parts of the two resolutions supposedly dismissing estafa complaints against Okada ended up on social media.

"It is the DOJ, not the panel formed by Paudac that should properly investigate the leakage of resolutions that happened at the Parañaque prosecutor's office," TRLEI said. — BM, GMA News
