Macau Resort Supervisor Took Bribes to Skip Job Interviews

A supervisor at a Macau integrated resort solicited bribes from mainland Chinese workers to secure jobs without formal interviews.

According to the Commission Against Corruption (CCAC), on Wednesday, the supervisor in the stewarding department solicited nearly RMB190,000 (US$26,000) in bribes for bypassing the interview process.

Starting last year, the employee identified Chinese residents seeking work in Macau, offering job placements for fees between RMB15,000 (US$2,060) and RMB25,000 (US$3,440).

The CCAC reported that nine Chinese mainland residents were hired without interviews, some lacking minimum qualifications, violating the resort’s entry requirements.

The supervisor and his girlfriend destroyed evidence and abetted others to conceal the bribery, according to the CCAC.

Under Macau’s law on bribery prevention, the employee, his girlfriend, and a middleman are suspected of passive bribery, while the nine Chinese residents are suspected of active bribery.

The case has been referred to the Public Prosecutions Office for further handling, the CCAC confirmed.
