AAEC recently applied to the Court of First Instance for permission to file the MOU, which was allegedly submitted to DICJ, the Macau gaming regulator, as part of the tender process, The Macau Daily Times<\/em> reported. But LVS claims Weidner\u2019s signature has been illegally transposed onto the MOU from a different document.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe judge has requested an official response from DICJ, confirming whether it received the document and if it had, whether it was signed by Weidner and Hao.<\/p>\n
AAEC also has five days to present evidence demonstrating how it acquired the document.

I find it strange that only now this seems to be a problem for the defense,\u201d said the lawyer of AAEC Jorge Menezes.<\/p>\n

Barring further delays, closing arguments in the case are scheduled for January 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
