Victoria’s Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) has fined Crown Melbourne $80 million (US$57.5 million) for organising a scheme that enabled illegal money transfers from China.
The fine was imposed after the VGCCC’s investigation revealed that Crown casino set up a process to circumvent Chinese currency restrictions and allow funds to be transferred out of China illegally, by letting international gamblers use the China Union Pay card from 2012 to 2016.
