The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) filed its case against Star Sydney and Star Queensland in the Federal Court on Wednesday, alleging the casino group facilitated money laundering that amounted to “serious and systemic” breaches of federal law. The financial crime watchdog is suing the Star Entertainment Group for allegedly allowing 117 high-risk VIP patrons to churn billions of dollars of dirty cash through its Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast casinos for years.
