Macau gaming company supervisor allegedly solicited bribes to facilitate job recruitment

Macau's Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) recently uncovered a bribery case involving an employee of a gaming company in Macau.

The responsible recruitment staff allegedly solicited bribes from several mainland Chinese residents interested in working in Macau, with the total amount involved nearing RMB190,000 ($26,130).
Following public complaints, the CCAC launched an investigation. It was found that the department head responsible for recruitment and other matters had continuously identified mainland Chinese residents interested in working in Macau through his cohabiting girlfriend and another intermediary since last year.
They allegedly enticed these individuals with promises of "no need for interviews" or "direct employment," charging each person between RMB15,000 ($2,060) and RMB25,000 ($3,400) as "introduction fees.”
The investigation revealed that they used their authority to assist at least nine mainland Chinese residents in successfully obtaining employment.
During the CCAC investigation, it was discovered that the majority of mainland job seekers who paid the "introduction fees" were hired without participating in interviews. Some did not meet the minimum educational requirements or were illiterate, blatantly violating the employment conditions and regulations set by the enterprise.
CCAC also revealed that efforts to conceal evidence of receiving "introduction fees" were made throughout the investigation, with other implicated individuals allegedly instructed to hide relevant information.
