None
Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson on Wednesday filed a $60 million defamation lawsuit against a US Jewish political organization, accusing the group of spreading false allegations that he approved prostitution at his Macau resorts.
Adelson, the chief executive of Las Vegas Sands, said in court papers that the National Jewish Democratic Council had mounted a personal campaign against him based on unproven and damaging accounts of his Macau operations. Adelson is a major contributor to US Republican candidates. (Reuters)
