While the hotel worked diligently on Ms. Gali’s behalf, the authorities investigated and prosecuted the case under the local laws. Additionally, the men involved were also prosecuted and each served prison terms before being deported. As for Ms. Gali’s lawsuit, we disagree with the allegations.<br /><br />The hotel management provided support and assistance to Ms. Gali and her family throughout that time including assisting with medical support, arranging for financial support, assistance with the investigation, liaising with her representative Australian embassy and coordinating and arranging affairs with her family in Australia.<br /><br />As this matter is part of an open investigation, we cannot comment further at this time.<br /><br />The safety and security of our associates and guests continues to be a paramount priority.Starwood Hotels and Resortshttp://www.starwoodhotels.comnoreply@blogger.com
