Australia's most recognizable bikie has been banned from the Perth Mint and three major Australian banks after buying $27,000 worth of gold bars.
A notorious former bikie was reportedly allowed to purchase 27 grand worth of gold from Perth Mint without extensive screening.
Perth Mint remains under investigation by financial crime regulator AUSTRAC, which last year ordered the appointment of an external auditor to the West Australian government-owned mint after identifying compliance concerns.
The auditors are examining whether Perth Mint, has complied with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations.
It is also investigating the mint’s compliance with requirements relating to the reporting of suspicious matters.
Any confirmed breach of money laundering laws could leave the mint facing heavy criminal fines which would ultimately be paid by taxpayers.
Perth Mint is Australia’s biggest gold refinery with a turnover of almost $22 billion last financial year.
It sold almost 20 million coins, medallions and bars to customers in more than 130 countries.
Mint launched anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing remediation programs and processes to improve its engagement with customers.
Dayne Brajkovich, a former Hells Angels bikie who has served time in prison for drug offences, purchased $27,000 in gold from the mint in June last year. The mint is required to conduct extensive checks on higher-risk customers but Brajkovich told the program he was only asked for his driver’s license.
