Crime, Corruption And Money Laundering
The author of BC’s ‘Dirty Money’ report will discuss his findings on organized crime and money laundering in Lower Mainland casinos.
About the talk:
The Money Laundering Threat – The author of B.C.’s ‘Dirty Money’ report on money laundering in casinos will highlight our vulnerability to organized crime and money laundering. In June 2018, the Attorney General of British Columbia released his independent review of allegations of money laundering in Lower Mainland casinos. The 250-page report included 48 recommendations, all of which were accepted by government. The report received wide circulation in Canada and abroad. It described the Vancouver Model of money laundering. Dr. German was subsequently asked to complete a similar report on allegations of money laundering in the real estate, auto and horse racing sectors.
