Hato lashed Macau with heavy winds and rain that flooded large parts of the city.
HONG KONG – Macau’s anticorruption agency has launched an investigation into the Chinese casino hub’s meteorological office after a deadly typhoon struck last week, leaving 10 dead.
The corruption agency said in a statement late Monday that it is investigating the meteorology bureau’s forecasting procedures and management, including former director Fong Soi-kun, who resigned after Typhoon Hato.
It said it had received numerous complaints and requests to investigate the weather bureau in the wake of the storm.
