SkyCity casino proposes $44.6million fine for anti money-laundering failures

The operator faces a $44.6 million fine for violating the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act of 2006, according to a proposal filed with the Federal Court of Australia by SkyCity and the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre.

A judge will consider the proposal on June 7 and determine whether or not this amount is approved.

SkyCity has acknowledged that it violated anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing regulations, and it has therefore acknowledged wrongdoing in connection with the charge.
