The B.C. government announced the largest civil forfeiture in the province s history Tuesday, but the company involved maintains it did nothing wrong, and only settled the case to spare its "innocent employees" and their families from the stress of a trial.
Solicitor General Mike Farnworth said the forfeiture "sends a clear message that the province will continue to take decisive action against suspected proceeds of unlawful activity."
