US EditionKahnawake casino owners sue Mohawk council, grand chief for $220 million
- Two casino owners sued the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake and Grand Chief Cody Diabo for $220 million after the Magic Palace casino closed in March 2024 near Montreal.
- The casino was shut down after news emerged in 2023 that the RCMP was probing an Albanian investor allegedly involved in laundering money for a Mexican cartel through the establishment.
- The lawsuit claims the council abruptly shut down the casino without due process and halted a $155 million expansion project, risking permanent closure unless the court intervenes.
- The owners are demanding $220 million in compensation, with $155 million attributed to a halted expansion project, while the Mohawk Council has chosen not to respond to the legal action as of May 16, 2025.
- This suit highlights unresolved disputes over gaming control in the Kahnawake First Nations community, posing financial and operational risks to the casino's future.
