Almost a year to the day after it was established, the Perth Casino Royal Commission has delivered its final report.There is no word on when the government would release the contentsHowever, the WA government has yet to say when it will publish the report's findings.
Just last week, the financial crimes watchdog, AUSTRAC, served Crown Perth and Crown Melbourne with an 863-page statement of claim after its own investigation. It also claimed one gambler, known as Customer 29, had many aliases, was a member of foreign political organisations, presented two different passports to Crown Perth and engaged in plenty of suspicious transactions.He was given access to the Crown private jet to fly between different countries, carrying big amounts of money.
AUSTRAC alleges Crown Perth did not adequately examine whether the source of Customer 31's wealth was legitimate and monitor his transactions, which included many examples of cuckoo smurfing, a form of money laundering to hide the original source of the money.The penalty for each breach is between $18 million and $22.2 million.
Racing and Gaming Minister Tony Buti – the third minister in this portfolio since the bombshell Bergin report was released in February last year – said the government would closely consider, respond to and table the report in the WA Parliament "after a period of consideration".Mark McGowan and Kim Beazley are in possession of the report.
