The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) has highlighted the growing instances of extortion targeting South Asian communities in Canada by Indian criminal networks like the Bishnoi gang and the Bambiha gang.
The FINTRAC noted that the newly ‘Special Bulletin on money laundering associated with extortion directed at Canada’s South Asian diaspora’, is rooted in the rising reports of extortion attempts, shootings, arson attacks and cross-border criminal networks, as well as the involvement of foreign nationals, including organized crime groups with links to India.
