The United States has imposed sanctions on an Australian man working for a casino nicknamed Sin City in South-East Asia's Golden Triangle.

The Kings Romans Casino is in Laos but operates effectively as Chinese territory — offering gambling, prostitution, and the sale of endangered wildlife.

Australian citizen Abbas Eberahim reportedly provided security services for the casino, which has been hit with sanctions by the US Treasury and Drug Enforcement Agency.

"Abbas Eberahim, an Australian national, is designated for providing material support and acting for or on behalf of the Zhao Wei TCO [transnational criminal organisation]," the US Treasury press release said.

"He is in charge of security at the Kings Romans Casino and was the former managing director. Eberahim has engaged in bribery on behalf of the Zhao Wei TCO."

The Kings Romans Casino is shown at 52 seconds in the clip. The rest of the footage shows the border area between Laos, Myanmar and Thailand.
