Who was sanctioned, and for what?

According to FINTRAC, Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority is a reporting entity in the casino sector. Canada's anti-money laundering regulator FINTRAC imposed an administrative monetary penalty of CAD 1,175,000 on the company on 28 August 2025. According to FINTRAC's findings, made during a compliance examination, the company committed 3 violations of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) and its regulations. As described by the regulator, the violations concerned suspicious transaction reporting and written compliance policies and procedures. Specifically, according to FINTRAC, four suspicious transaction reports were missing, three reports filed contained no indicators of suspicion, and the regulator found shortcomings in patron risk rating in 41 of 100 instances reviewed. According to FINTRAC, the company has appealed the decision to the Federal Court.
