A former director of the British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s anti-money laundering office says he is the “whistleblower” that likely prompted the public inquiry examining how hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal cash flowed through the province’s casinos.
Ross Alderson, who testified for more than four hours Thursday, said he was driven to leak information about the suspected extent of money laundering at casinos and bureaucracy to the activity at top levels.
“Did I leak information to the media? Yes I did,” Alderson told the Cullen Commission public inquiry into money laundering. “We wouldn’t be here today, if I didn’t.”
