(TRLEI) have now raised legal action against the 79-year-old billionaire. Given events that unfolded towards the end of May, TRAL\u2019s pursuit of Mr. Okada is hardly surprising. Emboldened by a Status Quo Ante order issued by the Philippine Supreme Court, Kazuo Okada, flanked by associates and a small clutch of local police officials, stormed the Okada Manila resort, seizing operational control. True, the national courts had ruled in favour of the Osaka-born entrepreneur, overruling a dated fraud charge which had resulted in his removal from the casino\u2019s boardroom. Yet, the aggressive nature of Okada\u2019s occupation, coupled with the physical ejection of the TRLEI senior leadership team, did much to undermine the integrity of his cause.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Unsettled by the Okada\u2019s actions, the Philippine Department of Justice, in conjunction with the Philippine Amusement &amp; Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), facilitated the return of TRLEI executives to the integrated resort. Nevertheless, given Okada\u2019s legal mandate, his position on the board remains, and TRLEI have reluctantly respected the billionaire\u2019s right to maintain building access, and contribute to business affairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Nevertheless, as a consequence of Kazuo Okada\u2019s unruly takeover attempt, TRAL have opted to sue the \u2018current\u2019 Chief Executive for financial damages. Furthermore, the Asian gambling giant have added a second allegation to their legal case, suggesting that Mr. Okada falsified the seniority of his role at the casino when he was originally put under the microscope in 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u2018\u2019As a result of Kazuo Okada\u2019s criminal acts, the operations of TRLEI and Okada Manila have been unjustly paralyzed, and consequently TRAL has suffered significant and irreparable loss,\u2019\u2019 a TRAL statement said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">It\u2019s believed Tiger Resorts Asia Limited will mobilize additional lawsuits, relating to other claims against Okada, in the upcoming weeks and months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ongoing feud between Tiger Resorts Asia Limited and maverick Japanese tycoon Kazuo Okada may have reached somewhat calmer waters, but the five-year long dispute over the ownership of the Okada Manila casino complex is far from resolution.
