B.C. Money Laundering Commission to Hear From Experts as It Continues Probe
After a round of hearings in April with high-profile politicians, including former B.C. premier Christy Clark, the Cullen Commission will be hearing from expert witnesses in the coming weeks as it continues its investigation of widespread money laundering in B.C.
Questions to current and former politicians appearing before the commission included probes on whether claims of authorities’ reluctance to properly monitor and report suspicious cash transactions were true, and whether the desire to boost provincial revenues played a role in limiting enforcement.
Throughout the hearings, initiated in May 2019, the commission heard from expert witnesses who provided details on the flow of dirty money into the province and the role of money laundering in the flooding of fentanyl in North America by Chinese transnational crime syndicates.
