The long-awaited report into money laundering in B-C is highly critical of the R-C-M-P and the former Liberal government for letting the crime grow but says there is no evidence of corruption. The report released today by former B-C Supreme Court justice Austin Cullen says the R-C-M-P allowed growth in money-laundering to continue unchecked since 2012 due to a lack of attention. It also say the Liberals — including former premier Christy Clark — knew suspicious cash was circulating in Vancouver-area casinos but failed to do enough to stop it. Cullen says money laundering has been left largely ignored for too long by governments, regulatory bodies and law enforcement and it’s time for that to change.
