Whistleblower reveals 'alarming' scale of money laundering through poker machines

Description

A whistleblower and former employee of ClubsNSW has claimed that money laundering through poker machines is rife in pubs and clubs across the country. In an exclusive interview with the ABC, Troy Stolz, a former ClubsNSW anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism finance (AML/CTF) compliance auditor, said that the scale of the problem was both "massive" and "alarming". A ClubsNSW board document obtained by the ABC shows up to 95 per cent of clubs have not been complying with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism finance laws. Independent MP Andrew Wilkie said in Parliament that the clubs were "operating illegally."
