SkyCity casino risks legal redress due to anti money-laundering violations in New Zealand

SkyCity Entertainment’s SkyCity Casino Management brand has found itself in hot water in New Zealand as the local Department of Internal Affairs prepares to launch civil proceedings against the operator.

The case is set to be filed in four days and stems from alleged antimoney-laundering violations. According to the department, the gambling company has breached the New Zealand Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act.

As a result the SkyCity casinos in Auckland, Hamilton and Queensland, now risk a fine of $4.9 million.
