B.C.’s justice system has failed to bring even one person to court for money laundering.
Early in his career as attorney general, one of David Eby’s top priorities was to continue the crusade he started as an opposition critic speaking out against money laundering.
Eby does get some credit for curbing the flow. The astonishing money laundromat process in casinos was ebbing by the time the NDP took over. He staunched it further, by launching an investigation by expert Peter German. Then he acted on ideas to demand source of funds proof at casinos and create a new ownership registry for real estate.
But many of the ideas involve continuing to work within a model that was conclusively shown last week to be a complete failure. The second collapse only became fully apparent last week, when independent special prosecutor Chris Considine’s report was released. For a number of legal reasons, he found that the mountain of evidence compiled by police was not worth putting to a judge because the case is virtually unwinnable.
Current B.C. Attorney General Niki Sharma said the abandonment of the huge case was frustrating, but said government “is constantly improving our ability to go after money-laundering.After tracking the last two big cases, the question is, why do they bother?
