A report by a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) deputy commissioner that was released this week to British Columbia’s Attorney General David Eby chronicles widespread money laundering at BC casinos for many years.
Eby said the report by Peter German, and 48 recommendations he made would provide a strong foundation for effectively combating money laundering. He released the report while visiting the federal capital seeking assistance from the national government to fight money laundering.
One tool he wants to employ is the tracking of the purchase of luxury cars in some areas. This activity can be used to mask introducing illegal cash into the economy, he said.
