Mass. AG pushing for more regulations on casinos

Massachusetts’ top prosecutor, concerned that casinos could bring more criminal activity, has urged the state’s gambling overseers to strengthen regulations to combat money laundering, human trafficking and other illicit activities. Attorney General Maura Healey wants the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, which is meeting Thursday, to require casinos to file timely reports to the state about suspicious activity and large cash transactions and incorporate ”zero tolerance” language in employee and vendor contracts about trafficking in people and drugs.
