„David Eby“ – Versionsunterschied

Shortly after being appointed Attorney General, Eby claimed he discovered that large scale money laundering was prevalent in BC, particularly in the real estate and casino sectors of the economy. He immediately assigned blame to his political foes whom he intimated had been willful blind or corrupt.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Quinn |first1=Stephen |title=CBC Early Edition |access-dateissue=19 February 2018 |issuepublisher=CBC |date=19 February 2018<!-- |publisher=CBC |access-date=19 February 2018-->}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=McComb |first1=Jon |title=Jon McComb Show |access-date=10 January 2018 |agency=CKNW |publisher=CKNW |date=10 January 2018}}</ref> Over the next several months Eby made a number of media appearances where he claimed that hundreds of millions of dollars had been laundered through real estate and casinos. He hired former police officer Peter German to conduct an investigation into money laundering. German concluded that $100 million dollars had been laundered in BC, but when asked about the sum at the press conference with Eby announcing his findings, German was unable to explain how he arrived at the figure. His report does not actually contain the $100 million figure or provide supporting data or explanation as to how this sum was quantified; its origin remains without a factual explanation or basis.<ref>{{cite web |last1=German |first1=Peter |title=Dirty Money |url=https://cullencommission.ca/other-reports/ |website=Cullen Commission |publisher=Province of British Columbia |access-date=7 January 2020}}</ref>
