James Packer deputy faces questions over possible licence breach in Crown sale

Guy Jalland denies he knew of late Macau mogul Stanley Ho's interest in Crown share buyer Melco

One of billionaire James Packer's key lieutenants, Guy Jalland, has faced a grilling over whose interests he believed he was representing at a key meeting on 23 May last year where the $1.7bn sale of part of Crown to Melco Resorts was finalised.

Jalland is a director of Packer's private company, Consolidated Press Holdings and the ASX-listed Crown Resorts. But he was not a director of the CPH company that held the shares in Crown and that was selling nearly 20% of its 46% holding.
