A couple alleged to have operated an underground Richmond bank at the centre of a major money laundering case want a civil forfeiture suit against them thrown out.
A lawyer for the Richmond company alleged to be at the centre of B.C.’s biggest money laundering case wants a civil forfeiture suit against their clients thrown out.
But before the seized property could be returned to the couple in late December, the director of civil forfeiture filed a suit asking that the couple’s home as well as the millions of dollars seized during the massive RCMP E-Pirate investigation be forfeited to the government. Nathanson suggested in his application that the government agency misled the Victoria judge when it claimed in December that the civil forfeiture case was filed “as soon as it could have been” even though the director had known about the cash since it was seized in 2015.
“The court was clearly misled,” Nathanson said, adding that the lawyer at the hearing should have provided the judge with all the information before the interim preservation order was granted.
