The former concessionaire of Macau’s troubled greyhound racetrack, Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Co. Ltd. has already paid its 25-million-pataca fine for abandoning hundreds of greyhounds when the racetrack stopped operating in July last year, the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) said in a statement yesterday.
The company is headed by gaming executive-cum-lawmaker Angela Leong On Kei.
According to the statement, Yat Yuen was fined 50,000 patacas per greyhound left behind in the racetrack’s kennels when the dog-racing concession ended on July 20, 2018.
