B.C. Attorney General David Eby to testify at money laundering inquiry
Canadian Press, 26 April 2021
VANCOUVER — The politician who set the wheels in motion for the money laundering inquiry in British Columbia will testify before the commission today.
David Eby has been called before the Cohen Commission to testify both as the current attorney general and for his role as the former Opposition critic for gaming in the province.
The New Democrat government called the inquiry after three reports revealed B.C.’s gaming, real estate and luxury vehicle sectors were being used to launder money from crime.
Eby said last year that he had been pushing for action on money laundering since he was an Opposition member and first became concerned about the problem while working as a lawyer in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
