British Columbia casinos accused of money laundering
Nine people have been arrested after a year-long investigation that identified millions of dollars being laundered through Lower Mainland casinos, according to B.C.'s gang task force.
Investigators say the alleged crime group has links across Canada, as well as to mainland China and other countries.
"Money laundering, loan sharking and illegal gaming provide an attractive source of income for organized crime," said assistant commissioner Kevin Hackett of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU).
"Clients who utilize these services need to be aware that often the cash being provided to them is from illegal activity, and that using such services provides financial support to criminals and funds their illegal enterprises and operations."
The investigation was conducted by the CFSEU's new Joint Illegal Gaming Investigation Team, which also includes members of the provincial government's Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch.
