Canada and Foreign Organized Crime

Canada has some law enforcement problems. Canada a "safe zone" for Transnational Crime and Foreign Interference networks

The report cites a collection of stunning cases and statistics to argue that transnational criminal networks with ties to China, Iran and Russia are using Canada to launder tens of billions annually, and related economic and political operations are undermining safety and democracy in the West.

The story references Five Eyes law enforcement. That is an organization of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States which work together to fight international crime.

Evidence agreed upon by Crown and Defence in the case pointed to a multi-billion-dollar money laundering and terror-financing network in Toronto, and a criminal technology hub in Vancouver, that enabled global criminals and terrorists to frustrate Five Eyes law enforcement efforts.

The story is interesting in that some of the criminal activity has been tied to the Chinese state. Well, it is also interesting because it seems like the Canadians have been in a state of denial about criminal activity in Canada, and the infiltration into the government.

The Ortis case proved RCMP’s former intelligence director was contacting alleged Iranian criminals with deep ties to the Iranian-state and terror-financing.

Are we shocked?
