Fox Corp. said Nicholas Trutanich, a former U.S. attorney for Nevada, would become the company’s new chief ethics and compliance officer.
Mr. Trutanich’s expertise in gambling regulation was one reason for the appointment, according to the company’s new general counsel. Fox is one of several broadcasters that have made a push into the sports gambling business.
In 2019, the company agreed to buy 4.99% of the online sports-betting company Stars Group for $236 million.
“Nick is an experienced trial lawyer, a proven leader, and an adviser with impeccable integrity,” Fox General Counsel Jeff Taylor said in a statement. “He is an ideal fit for our already strong team, and his expertise in gaming regulation will be invaluable as FOX continues its push into sports betting.”
