Park Lane Club, one of London’s most prestigious casinos, has had a licence review forced on it by the Gambling Commission, following the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office’s seizure of its owner Silverbond Enterprises’ assets in a Ukrainian money laundering scandal.

The casino is owned by Latvian businessman Vasilijs Melniks through his Silverbond Enterprises company whose assets were taken over by Ukrainian authorities at the start of August. The UK gambling Commission said last Wednesday that it would now be reviewing the casino’s licence.
