Calgary judge rules a family charged in a money\u002Dlaundering investigation can use nearly $2 million in seized cash to pay their legal bills.
They said more than $16 million in cash, real estate and other property was seized in their investigation into a nationwide criminal organization which officials believe could have laundered hundreds of millions of dollars.
“The seven applicants are charged, on two direct indictments, with operating a ‘professional money-laundering organization’ … within their extended family,” he noted. He found the case was a complex one and the suspects would have no means of covering legal bills without access to the seized funds.
