NSW police say $5m laundered through casinos

McManus’ business One World Entertainment is set present the Kiss tour which is scheduled to hit Australia next month; Def Leppard and Live in November; and a tour a triple bill of reggae acts – Eddy Grant, Sly & Robbie and Inner Circle – next February. He was charged with two counts of money laundering.

Four other men, three in Sydney and one in the U.S., were also arrested.

In his interview with NSW detectives, in July 2012, Mr Hanson said, “Do you want me to tell you the, the full story of how basically this money was laundered?”

Craig Haeusler, Kings Cross lawyer Michael Croke, and pastry shop owner Zeki Atilgan were arrested in Sydney last night, while U.S. businessman Owen Hanson Junior was arrested in San Diego.

According to The Age, McManus was arrested at Melbourne airport overnight after an global investigation started by the discovery of 0,000 in cash at a Sydney hotel in 2011.

Last year, New South Wales and Victoria police raided five properties, seizing more than $68,000 in cash and steroids.

They’ve been bailed to appear at Sydney courts at later dates.

The operation also uncovered the alleged importation of 300kg of cocaine from Mexico to Australia. He has been granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on October 14. The 54-year-old music promoter arrested in Melbourne has been charged with perverting the course of justice, two counts of intention to defraud by false or misleading statement and knowingly participate in a criminal group.

He was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in San Diego where he remains in custody.

Police are expected to charge Mr McManus with attempting to pervert the course of justice over the unsuccessful case to retrieve the cash, and knowingly participating in a criminal group.

The 65-year-old man was charged with perverting the course of justice, three counts of intention to defraud by false or misleading statement, and knowingly participate in criminal group. A number of search warrants were executed, and officers located and seized cash, gold, silver, cannabis, and documentation.

“The commitment made by the detectives and others involved in this investigation has been outstanding – they never lost focus on the job at hand”, commander of the Organised Crime Squad, Detective Superintendent Scott Cook, said in a statement.

The investigation has been a joint operation by the FBI and the Australian Crime Commission.

NSW Police is seeking the extradition of a 33-year-old United States citizen to Sydney on arrest warrants for money laundering, perverting the course of justice and intent to defraud by false or misleading statement, as well as an additional charge of drug supply of a large commercial quantity.
