Lawyer says federal law may need to be changed for money\u002Dlaundering charges to succeed in court

He said he recognizes Ottawa, not the province, has the jurisdiction to make such changes.

“While it is possible that disclosure and translation obligations could become problematic for the Crown from a resource perspective, I am not persuaded these challenges alone are sufficient to justify a decision not to approve charges,” he said. David Eby, then the attorney general, requested the appointment of a special prosecutor to review the prosecutorial decision and Considine was appointed in March 2022.

Considine, who referred to Jin as “X” in his clear statement, noted that the CFSEU “investigation revealed that between Feb. 4 and May 19, 2017, X received approximately $5.4 million in bulk cash from A and B; provided over $6 million in cash, bank drafts or casino chips to clients; and arranged for the deposit of approximately $7.2 million into the Chinese bank accounts associated to A and B.”

Normally charges are only approved in B.C. if there is a substantial likelihood of conviction. However, Considine said he also reviewed the evidence on the lesser test of a reasonable likelihood.
