Former PAGCOR official Rogelio Yusi Bangsil Jr. says he will appeal a ruling from the Macau Court of First Appeal that favored Wynn Macau in a damages lawsuit.
According to the Macau News Agency, the court confirmed that Wynn Macau had unlawfully disclosed the former PAGCOR official’s personal data without permission in March, with the information used at the time to oust Kazuo Okada as a director of Wynn and scheduled the hearing for the final decision on June 22.
Bangsil, along with his wife, were named as two of 17 people who had allegedly received more than $110,000 in gifts and payments from the then Wynn director Kazuo Okada. But the allegations led to the tarnishing of Bangsil’s integrity and career.
Bangsil denied the allegations and began litigation against Wynn Macau in 2014, seeking damages.
The court ultimately ruled against Bangsil’s MOP10 million (US $1.2 million) damages claim, with Wynn Macau’s defense team arguing it had not been proved that Bangsil suffered a considerable financial impact, and that the personal data had been provided willingly by him, the report said.
