MASHANTUCKET, Conn. --
Members of an accused gambling ring have been charged with using tactics to defraud Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Investigators said the scope of the case may reach far beyond Connecticut.
New London court officials said up to $1 million in cash was taken by the group.
During Wednesday’s arraignment, a New London judge had to arrange for a Korean interpreter to be sworn in over the phone to arraign two of the four suspects.
Two others were indicted by Atlantic City authorities.
Federal agents also were in court Wednesday, and said the case could be the tip of the iceberg, stretching to casinos across the country and abroad.
********, 60, of Korea, appeared in court Wednesday, and according to the State’s Attorney’s Office, is considered to be the leader in an organized effort to defraud Foxwoods Resort Casino of up to $1 million.
Court authorities said Foxwoods is providing video surveillance evidence, showing ******** and other associates using an electronic device slipped up a sleeve in playing a table game called Minibacc.
The state’s attorney said the scheme was to defraud the casino of $750,000 to $1 million. ********, who has no local ties, had his bond set at $500,000.
Also arraigned Wednesday was 34-year-old ********, also from Korea. Authorities said ******** has numerous prior felony gaming charges and that she allegedly took nearly $84,000 from Foxwoods.
The assistant state’s attorney said the federal investigation is ongoing and that two others are being extradited to Atlantic City to face similar gaming theft charges there.
