From the Flamingo to the Luxor, this is the complete story of how the mob exploited legal gambling to make billions of dollars.

French justice department is investigating trade mission which included Macron
Today, 12:52
The French justice department has launched an investigation into irregularities in the financing of a commercial mission to Las Vegas. It also included President Macron, then Minister of Economic Affairs.
The trip was organized by Business France, a group representing French business interests. Destination was a major technology fair, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Macron wanted to promote new French technology companies. However, the trip may have been financed illegally.
Macron gave a speech to the CES, but according to French officials, he had nothing to do with the organization of the trip.
However, the investigation can now hurt Minister Pénicaud. She is now [Macron’s] Labour Minister, but during the trip to Las Vegas she was the bigwig of Business France.
On July 13, after only a few days’ debate, the French National Assembly approved the draft enabling act presented by French President Emmanuel Macron’s government on July 10. The Assembly is thus authorizing the government to drastically rewrite labor laws by decree, without any further input from parliament. This vote, newspapers wrote, marked the start of Macron’s term in office: here.
