AUSTRAC published an evaluation of money laundering and terrorism financing vulnerabilities within junket activities, urging the casino sector to enforce more robust safeguards to combat potential financial crimes.

The investigation led to Crown Resorts postponing the launch of its Barangaroo casino until February 1st.
