Money laundering, fraud charges laid after large withdrawals from Edmonton-area casino ATMs
Four Alberta men are facing charges after alleged ATM frauds at Edmonton-area casinos.
The RCMP began its investigation after suspicious activity at ATMs in casinos in the capital region, including 'a string of high-value withdrawals which triggered a service disruption to ATMs across western Canada.'
RCMP and Edmonton police officers conducted six search warrants, and found evidence of fraud and money laundering.
'Investigators allege that the accused withdrew large sums of cash as part of a coordinated scheme intended to evade detection and exploit financial institutions,' RCMP wrote in their release.
The fraud resulted in a loss of more than $1 million, police said.
A fifth man was charged with drug trafficking as part of the investigation.
