ASX Sharemarket News

In ASX sharemarket news, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is getting closer to launching a legal case against Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) and its Board members according to an article in the Australian Financial Review.

Despite already paying a $700 million civil penalty to AUSTRAC for its role in the money laundering scandal, ASIC thinks the bank and Board of CBA did not respond adequately nor did they provide the proper disclosures that they should have.

The current CBA Chairman and former CBA CEO are just some of the management that ASIC is interviewing to see if it has a case against the major bank.

A member of the CBA media team said: “CBA continues to engage with ASIC regarding a number of matters and responds to requests made by the regulator. We won’t be commenting on any individual matter.”

Crown Resorts Ltd (ASX: CWN) is another business facing public attention after its attempt to extend the construction commencement date of One Queensbridge has been informally denied by the Victorian Government. A formal notice is expected shortly.

The casino complex company said that a lack of reaching suitable financing arrangements was the reason why it hadn’t started construction yet, although it still owns 50% of the land along with its developer partner.
