[snoop1130]

 

MANILA, Philippines — A Filipino-Chinese businessman linked by opposition Sen. Risa Hontiveros to illegal gambling and human trafficking denied the allegation. 

 

In a statement released by his lawyer Ferdinand Topacio on Tuesday, Lincoln Ong denied any connection with Yatai International Holdings Group, which Hontiveros, in a privileged speech, claimed to have been providing a “safe haven” for illicit gaming and for organizing a “team of Filipino scammers in Myanmar”.

 

Topacio urged Hontiveros to “kindly take a second look at her pronouncements” linking the said company to Yatai International Corp., and in turn linking the same to Ong.
