The British Columbia Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) after a year-long investigation, has made nine arrests accused of money laundering millions of dollars at several BC casinos.

Those arrested, who included gang members and loan sharks are accused of being connected to drug trafficking in China and several other countries.

The investigation was conducted by the CFSEU’s new Joint Illegal Gaming Investigation Team.

Kevin Hackett of the CFSEU said in a statement: “Money laundering, loan sharking and illegal gaming provide an attractive source of income for organized crime.” He added, “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.”
