Paul King Jin's lawyer Greg DelBigio in closing argues that Canada's Charter of Rights is being questioned by investigators as a block against fighting crime and that police need more "tools" to fight money laundering ...
But the Commission hasn't given JIN and others much chance to argue the other side, that privacy rules and Charter of Rights rules need to be upheld stringently in order to protect Canada's constitution and democracy. He urges Cullen to resist the 'erosion' of Charter rights.
DelBigio says that he hasn't been able to cross-examine a report by Commission Counsel on Paul King Jin real estate loan enforcement cases, that involve a number of BC lawyers.
He acknowledges, "evidence tells" us there is an ongoing criminal investigation involving Mr. Jin and also ongoing civil forfeiture cases. "With respect to E-Pirate, it was massive, long-lasting, many agencies were involved, and it sounds like the police used all of their tools
"Mr. Jin was examined, but he was never charged. Very little evidence was presented by the Commission, with respect to E-Pirate. For those that were charged, a stay was entered."
DelBigio doesn't mention, for those charged, Jin's associate Mr. Zhu was murdered in a targeted shooting in late 2020 and Jin escaped the shooting with an injury. globalnews.ca/news/7352842/i…

The most direct RCMP allegation of corruption surfaces on last day — B.C. casinos ‘used’ foreign high rollers as money-laundering ‘pawns,’ inquiry hears | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/8277350/b…
In 2012, an RCMP investigation reported that Richmond’s River Rock Casino and New Westminster’s Starlight Casino “are a very significant source of money-laundering activity, using wealthy People’s Republic of China gamblers as willing pawns in their activity.”
The document that makes this explosive allegation — not previously reported on — is the most direct evidence cited in British Columbia’s provincial money-laundering inquiry: that specific B.C. government casinos were “using” foreign high rollers in transnational laundering.
