Hard Rock International separates from Alex Pariente after internal probe
Hard Rock International said it had separated from Alex Pariente, its corporate senior vice-president of casino and hotel operations, following an internal investigation into allegations involving money structuring and unpaid markers at Hard Rock Punta Cana. The company said the inquiry included independent parties from two law firms; Pariente’s assistant, Silvia Mendez, was also reported to have been dismissed.
The departures concern alleged anti-money-laundering and compliance failures at a casino in the Dominican Republic.
