A report by Macau’s Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) has revealed that some concessionaires for the first time in 2024 took the initiative of reporting staff suspected of bribery, representing the start of anti-corruption efforts in the private sector.
According to the report, there were two cases of bribery involving concessionaires reported by the private sector last year. The first case related to instances between September 2020 and February 2023 when a former head chef of the catering department of a concessionaire was accused of demanding new employees pay a referral fee of between MOP$1,000 and MOP$5,000 (US$124 and US$618) per month. The total amount involved in the case was as high as MOP$240,000 (US$29,670).
