B.C.’s money laundering Inquiry will hear from a former RCMP illegal gambling unit leader who has alleged the force’s senior leaders and the provincial government knew some of the province’s casinos were over-run by organized crime but turned a blind eye rather than disrupt the flow of dirty cash.

In preliminary hearings Friday in Vancouver for the Cullen Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering, Fred Pinnock, former head of B.C.’s Integrated Illegal Gambling Enforcement Team (IIGET), will make his case for formal “standing” as a participant in the Inquiry.
