The Federal Court of Australia has ruled that former Star Entertainment Group CEO Matthias Bekier and General Counsel Paula Martin breached their corporate duties by failing to disclose significant criminal risks and misleading lenders. Justice Michael Lee described the company's culture as 'dysfunctional and unethical' in a landmark 501-page decision.
A U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down emergency tariffs has sparked a trade policy crisis, with President Trump retaliating by raising duties to the legal maximum.
