OTTAWA - The federal agency that tracks suspicious transactions says increasingly large amounts of cash are involved in dubious dealings.

The Financial Transactions Reports Analysis Centre of Canada passed along information to authorities about three especially large cases.

Each one involved transactions of more than $1 billion.

In the last year, Fintrac, as the centre is known, made 193 disclosures about suspicious cases to police and security officials.

The average value of each case was $51 million in 2006-07, up from $30 million the previous year and $14.4 million in 2004-05.

Most of the almost $10 billion in case disclosures last year dealt with suspected money laundering.
