One of the biggest money laundering investigations in Canadian history won’t go to trial because the case has collapsed, British Columbia’s top law enforcement official said Wednesday.

B.C. Attorney General David Eby said he was informed that the high-profile case into suspected drug money circulating in Vancouver-area casinos had “collapsed.” The investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which began in 2015, was set to go to trial in January, according to CBC.
