Two former executives of The Star Entertainment Group Ltd have received penalties for breaching the Corporations Act. Justice Michael Lee found three contraventions involving Matthias Bekier and Paula Martin, who previously held significant roles within the company.

According to ABC News, Justice Lee imposed a six-year disqualification order on Bekier, the former Chief Executive Officer, and a seven-year disqualification on Martin, the former Chief Legal & Risk Officer. The court also levied fines of $700,000 against Bekier and $400,000 against Martin.

The Federal Court earlier determined that both executives failed to adequately manage the risks related to money laundering and criminal activities at one of Australia’s major casinos. This ruling highlights the significant legal responsibilities held by corporate leaders in maintaining compliance and ethical standards within their organizations.
