A 95-page federal lawsuit against the owners of the Genting Group – which operates the Resorts World slots parlor at Aqueduct – claims management at Resort’s World’s Las Vegas allowed crooks to launder illegal proceeds by gambling.

The suit said Genting’s Resorts World Vegas facility conducted regular business with an illegal bookie, Matthew Bowyer, who was placing bets for the corrupt former Japanese interpreter for baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani.

Genting’s Resorts World New York was just awarded a casino license Monday to operate table games at Aqueduct, pending final approval from the state Gaming Commission.

The suit does not mention any wrongdoing involving officials at Resorts World New York, whose slot and entertainment business has been operating for some 15 years at Aqueduct without major scandal.

This is a developing story.
