A man who used to own the Colma Casino California has been banned from visiting his old casino after pleading guilty to tax evasion charges. Rene Medina created the Colma Casino in 1998 but was forced to sell on his business, to sons Ruell and Rommel.
Medina had committed several finical frauds including, providing false taxation details as well as avoided paying personal income tax. With the left over money, he brought luxuries such as new furniture and sports cars.
Medina will only be allowed to visit the casinos restaurant and gift shop and will not be allowed to visit the gaming area or card rooms. Staff are prohibited to allow him to do so even though he has several friends and family working in the venue.
Blonien, who represent Medina in Court, said, “For years, coming to the club was a form of recreation for him because he saw a lot of people that he knew and he’s known for years. Because he’s a convicted felon, why should he have his ability to exercise his other constitutional rights taken away from him?”
