The Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in B.C. will table its final report June 3, however there will be some questions left unexplored, counsel for Commissioner Austin Cullen concedes.

First, the inquiry did not explore potential transnational organized criminal networks and foreign state actors behind the illicit movement of cash through B.C. casinos and other sectors of the province’s economy.

Nor did the inquiry explore money laundering in British Columbia’s securities industry – this at a time when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and U.S. Department of Justice have issued some of the most significant and historic indictments against Vancouver-based market participants accused of laundering proceeds of securities fraud.
