Chief executive of Wembley Nigel Potter was released on $100,000 bail after appearing in a US court yesterday on bribery-related charges.
Potter, alongside Lincoln Park, Wembley’s US subsidiary, and the head of its US operation Daniel Bucci, has been formally charged with a scheme to make illegal payments to a law firm to facilitate approval of additional slot machines and to block legislation for a rival’s Narragansett Indian casino.
