Crown Resorts agreed to pay 450 million Australian dollars (U.S. $292 million) and overhaul its anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism compliance controls for repeatedly violating Australia’s AML/CFT law.
Crown, which includes casino resort sites Crown Perth and Crown Melbourne, admitted in a tentative agreement with Australia’s financial regulator, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), it violated the country’s AML/CFT rules between March 2016 and November 2020.
The agreement is not final until it is approved by the court, which has scheduled a hearing on the matter in July, AUSTRAC said Tuesday in a press release.
