Money laundering is not a victimless crime

The province is moving to get dirty money out of B.C. casinos.
David Eby, Attorney General, says it’s linked to the opioid crisis and skyrocketing housing costs.
The province has released a report on the actions to take to prevent money laundering that was done by Peter German, a 31-year member of the RCMP, lawyer, and Q.C., who has a doctorate in law.
Peter German says all of the 48 recommendations must be implemented…..
The recommendations include establishing a regulator as an independent Crown Corporation, creating a specialized gaming police force, moving responsibility for reporting suspicious transactions and anti-money laundering compliance to the casino operators and moving regulatory oversight of anti-money laundering to the gaming regulator.
Nine of recommendations have already been implemented and Eby says the remainder are in the initial stages of implementation or are being reviewed by the government in preparation for further action.
