The Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia dedicated this last Friday to more hearings related to the casino field of the province and the Richmond region. Tom Robertson, a former investigator with the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, revealed that his revelations were not met positively at Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, which oversees River Rock Casino in Richmond.

Cullen Commission is holding daily hearings to reveal more information about the local gambling field. Mr. Robertson had the chance to speak on November 6 and he talked about his personal experience with the criminal activity and the continuous probes into it. He was looking into the daily operation of an alleged loan shark supporting high rollers at River Rock Casino in 2005.

The Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch did not investigate the casino loan sharks. The investigation was not in the mandate of the branch. Fred Pinnock, who oversaw the non-existing illegal gaming enforcement team in British Columbia, suggested more RCMP officers should be present in casinos and racetracks.
