No charges will be forthcoming in one of B.C. largest-ever money laundering probes
No charges will be forthcoming in one of the largest money laundering probes in B.C. history, not even after the now-Premier David Eby asked for a second opinion.
Considine acknowledged the province needs to send a message when it comes to money laundering, but said a prosecution here is “likely to founder” because of the complexities in the case, which would have become a “complex mega trial.” He said the public interest would not be well-served by an expensive and lengthy prosecution that comes to nothing.
According to Considine, the investigation produced 41,877 documents. Police also seized almost 90 smart phones and intercepted more than two million communications, the majority of which were in Mandarin. The Joint Illegal Gaming Investigations Team of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia investigated Jim as part of a multi-year investigation. Police arrested Jin in May 2017, but prosecutors never charged him because charge standards were not met. Eby then used his authority to direct Juk to retain the services of Considine, to conduct an independent charge assessment.
