B.C.’s inquiry into money laundering finally got a glimpse inside what was billed as Canada’s largest-ever money-laundering investigation, and it was an ugly, ugly sight.
The one-man inquiry commission was told hundreds of police officers and regulators worked from April to October 2015 on a massive joint operation dubbed Project E-Pirate — involving Mounties, municipal cops, the B.C. Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (Fintrac), B.C. Lottery Corp., and others.
Eight months later, the charges were stayed, leaving Attorney-General David Eby red-faced and irate, vowing to find out how the high-profile investigation went so “terribly wrong.”
