The document of the former judge of the Supreme Court of BC. Austin Cullen, which has more than 1,800 pages, is the culmination of a process that began three years ago. The recommendation of the Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia was announced in May 2019. Cullen was appointed to lead the investigation after reports that billions of dollars linked to organized crime and drug trafficking had infiltrated BC’s gambling sector and the real estate and luxury car markets. Nearly 200 witnesses testified, including former Prime Minister Christie Clark, current and former cabinet ministers, government and gambling industry officials, law enforcement officials and academics. Two former senior gambling officials said they had expressed concerns more than a decade ago to gambling officials and governments, including ministers, about the rise in suspicious cash appearances at Vancouver casinos. The survey found that in one month in 2015, casinos in BC recorded $ 20 million in cash buy-ins, most of them in $ 20 accounts.

The commission’s mandate is to make findings, identify the development and methods of money laundering, and determine whether regulators or individuals contributed to the problem or amounted to corruption in the province. Cullen promised that his report would include “recommendations that focus on making positive changes in many areas.” The full report was submitted to the KS government on 3 June. The report and its recommendations will be made public at 11:30 a.m. PT on 15 June. In 2008, CBC reporters took $ 24,000 in cash to BC casinos to see how easy it would be to launder money. It turned out not to be difficult at all:
