Nevada Gaming Commission member Michonne Ascuaga, the former CEO of Northern Nevada's Sparks Nugget, is under federal investigation for failing to implement effective anti-money laundering programs at the casino, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in relation to the property's 2013 sale.

Brian Sandoval.
