The owner of the Adelaide Casino claims to have set aside $45m to pay for a potential civil fine from a Federal Court anti-money laundering action. SkyCity claimed in a statement to the stock market that an additional $45.6 million had "impaired" the casino's operating license. In December, AUSTRAC filed a lawsuit in Federal Court against SkyCity, alleging widespread violations of anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist funding regulations. SkyCity stated that any potential court fine was subject to "considerable uncertainty" and might be much more or lower than the forty-five million dollars it had budgeted.
