Outgoing Star Entertainment chairman John O'Neill says it was a "fundamental mistake" to combine the company's legal and risk functions amid evidence of widespread mismanagement at the embattled casino operator.
Mr O'Neill is continuing his testimony at a royal commission style inquiry examining whether the gaming company is fit to keep its Sydney casino licence.
The inquiry is probing the ASX-listed company after allegations emerged it enabled suspected money laundering, organised crime, fraud and foreign interference at its venues, including The Star Sydney.
