You're standing over the body of a woman who's been murdered. She's been killed for loan sharking at a casino by organized crime mobsters. This is the price of blood. This is the thing that few people ever talk about when discussing money laundering, you know, the usual barking guff of expensive defense lawyers and their trained seals in the media

How financial crimes are victimless, administrative misdemeanor. Today, on crime waves, we are gonna examine how the bloody trail of cash linked to Mexican drug cartels and corrupt Chinese communist officials was laundered through Canadian casinos. It was a process that went on for over a decade. A lot of people knew about it, but no one did anything to.

And this week we have an expert on money laundering. Peter German, the former Deputy Commissioner of the Mounts, that's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. German produced two reports entitled “Dirty Money”, which revealed the depth of money laundering in the casino industry in Vancouver, Canada. Good morning, Peter.
