Former Amaya Inc. Chief Executive Officer David Baazov went to a Quebec court Dec. 13 to face allegations that he had used a front for illegal trading leading into the $4.9 billion bid on PokerStars, reported The Globe and Mail.
His lawyer, Sophie Melchers of Norton Rose Fulbright asked the courts for disclosure from the Quebec securities regulators, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), regarded the undisclosed front, sums and entities.
Without these pieces, Melchers told the court that she cannot build a proper defense and that would obstruct Baazov's right to a fair trial.
