Australia.- SkyCity Entertainment Group <\/strong>has\u00a0reported through a company filing that\u00a0Brian Martin AO KC\u2019s independent review<\/a> into the suitability of SkyCity Adelaide will resume on June 11. Martin is expected to report his findings to the Acting Commissioner by December 31, though this deadline may be extended if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The review was initially commissioned in July 2022 by the former commissioner to assess the suitability of SkyCity Adelaide to hold its casino licence and to evaluate SkyCity\u2019s status as a close associate. However, the review was put on hold<\/a> in February 2023 due to civil penalty proceedings initiated by AUSTRAC against SkyCity Adelaide. However, on June 7, the Federal Court of Australia approved a AU$67m<\/a> settlement agreement<\/a> between SkyCity Adelaide and AUSTRAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In its filing, SkyCity stated SkyCity Adelaide has pledged to cooperate fully with Consumer and Business Services and the Acting Commissioner throughout the review process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The review was put on hold in February 2023 due to civil penalty proceedings initiated by AUSTRAC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":24747,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The independent review into SkyCity Adelaide's casino license suitability, previously paused due to AUSTRAC civil penalty proceedings, will resume on June 11.
