Expert on money laundering appointed to review practices in B.C. casinos
VICTORIA — An independent expert has been appointed by the B.C. government to conduct a review of the province’s policies and practices to prevent money laundering in the gambling industry.
Attorney General David Eby says the review will focus on gaming in the Lower Mainland to ensure casinos are following policies already in effect.
Eby says concerns about money laundering have been growing for years and the review is aimed at dealing with them.
Peter German, a former deputy commissioner of the RCMP and Correctional Service Canada, will conduct the review.
