Many illegitimate deals happen on the seedy grounds of gambling venues across Australia. This is a well known fact to authorities and governments alike. In Victoria the Premier of the day, Jeff Kennett helped set up a Melbourne casino, where many crime deals have occurred, and subsequently the authorities support this money laundering business.
Gambling venues have been involved in a money laundering fraud, which involves the faking of attendees for quite some time.
CCTV cameras record the traffic, and compulsory registration of patrons coming into the venue, either for a club lunch or drinks. The gambling venue uses this information to ‘cook the books ‘, that these patrons were gambling, and in effect launder the illicit drug money.
This practice is known to authorities, but is deliberately overlooked, as these premised are employment providers, and the business owners are cronies of the politicians, law makers and others highly placed in the business community.
The newly elected Victorian police head claims that in his sights, corruption and crime will be on the list. Many are aware that corrupt police are on the payroll of well established drug gangs. Since the drug industry in Australia is worth an approximate $1.2 billion per month, there is plenty of funds to supply corrupt persons.
