Billionaire James Packer is being sued for allegedly assaulting a Crown Casino security guard and threatening to fire him. Mr Packer allegedly verbally abused and pushed security guard Iskandar Chaban while drunk at Crown's Melbourne casino on New Year's Day in 2016. 'I will throw you out of your job,' the-then Crown Resorts director told Mr Chaban, according to documents filed in Victoria's Supreme Court. Mr Chaban is seeking damages against MSS Security, Mr Packer and Crown Resorts for alleged breaches of their duties including failing to provide a safe workplace. The security guard claimed Mr Packer approached him while drunk, and was verbally abusive and threatening. Mr Chaban also alleged the billionaire ran at him and pushed him in the chest. Management staff then escorted Mr Chaban to an office where they verbally abused, humiliated, intimidated and bullied him, according to the court documents. The security guard said he was ordered to hand over his uniform, escorted from the building and driven to a train station. He fell ill on the train and went to hospital with spinal injuries. Mr Chaban said he was also left with post-traumatic stress disorder and an adjustment disorder. Mr Packer stepped down from Crown's board in 2018 to deal with mental health issues. The legal action against him and Crown comes as Victoria's gambling regulator brings forward a planned review into the casino's Melbourne operations. It will look at whether Crown should keep its casino licence in this state. That announcement follows startling admissions made by the company about money laundering. Crown previously told the NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority that its accounts had most likely been used to launder money. There are also two class actions afoot against Crown. One relates to allegations it misled investors about its compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The other relates to market disclosures about the detention of 19 of its employees in China in 2016. One of those staff members, Jenny Jiang, is taking legal action against the company for alleged negligence. Crown has declined to comment about the legal action by Ms Jiang and Mr Chaban.
