Money laundering ring smashed
Nine MSN (Australia)
Police believe they have smashed the biggest money laundering racket in Australian history, arresting 57 people in the past three weeks for laundering more than $93 million.
Four arrests were made yesterday following the execution of six search warrants in Sydney and one in Melbourne. A Melbourne woman has been charged with laundering $1.4 million while a Sydney man has been charged with laundering over $1.5 million. Two others were arrested for drug offences.
The operation targeting money launderers, known as Taskforce Gordian, came about following an investigation into drug trafficking. The Australian Crime Commission alleges that drug syndicates have been rapidly shipping their profits offshore through the use of money laundering groups. The money has been heading to Vietnam, Cambodia and Hong Kong — a known base for triad gangs.
Taskforce Gordian has been operating for over a year and is a joint effort between federal and state police forces in Victoria and New South Wales.
During the operation, police found 33kg of heroin, ice and ecstasy, with a street value of more than $30 million. Firearms, $2 million in cash and several million dollars worth of assets were also seized.
