The Attorney General of Ontario applied under the Civil Remedies Act, 2001, for forfeiture of $64,560 in Canadian currency seized from an unlicensed gambling operation.
An audit revealed the actual amount seized was $62,560 due to a counting error.
The court found the funds were proceeds of unlawful activity, as evidenced by the sophisticated gambling setup, lack of licenses, and absence of credible claims of legitimate ownership.
The application for forfeiture was granted for the corrected amount of $62,560.
