Doug Ford tells Ontario auditor general to ‘stay in her lane’ after casino sting operation
Lysyk said at two casinos the undercover operatives walked in with cash ranging from $5,000 to $11,000.With limited play and no proof of winnings, Lysyk said the shoppers were then able to cash out with casino cheques of $4,900 and $10,600.
“These funds could be considered ‘laundered’ because the cheque could be represented as casino winnings as the source of funds for deposit at a bank,” Lysyk wrote. The auditor general admitted on Wednesday at a news conference that the Ontario Provincial Police were not pleased with the sting and asked her to stop because it took up their resources to investigate it.“We do believe it was a worthwhile exercise to revisit the internal controls that are communicated to the casino operators, who are big casino operators in Ontario, of how to ensure that they restrict as much as they can money laundering from happening in the casinos in Ontario,” she said.
