VANCOUVER — Harry Chun Tak Yeh, a Hong Kong-born Canadian who became an early Bitcoin investor and later founded Quantum Fintech Group, was found dead at about 4:30 a.m. on August 7, his body at the foot of the tower, naked and covered by a black plastic bag, according to Paraguayan reporting citing police interviews.
What investigators found upstairs was equally suggestive.
A Federal Court judge has overturned an Immigration and Refugee Board decision to release an Indian national accused of murder and with suspected links to the Bishnoi gang.
Judge Phuong Ngo ruled Aug. 3 that the immigration board member erred in the July 7 decision when they said Karamveer Singh could 14be released on several conditions after relatives offered to post a bond.
An amateur boxer. An Ontario trucking company boss. A social media user whose Instagram account features photos of cash and military-style weapons.
A classified intelligence report obtained by Global News names the “key members” of the India-based gang that has been targeting South Asian Canadians.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s top leaders are profiled in the report by the Canada Border Services Agency’s Intelligence and Investigations Directorate.
U.S. Federal prosecutors announced arrests Monday in a plot to smuggle methamphetamine from Canada into the United States in exchange for guns.
Three dual Canadian-American citizens from Akwesasne, the Mohawk territory that straddles the Canada-U.S. border between Ontario and Quebec and New York State, were arrested last Thursday, according to a press release from the United States Department of Justice.
In a Stockholm suburb a man dressed in black appeared out of the winter night. Carrying a handgun, he approached 20-year-old Murad Abdelkader, a student on his way back from a shift at McDonald’s.
The gunman opened fire, shooting again and again as he approached his target. He fired the last shot into his victim’s head as he lay helpless on the ground.
The killer was 18-year-old Atilla Azimov. On that February night last year, he had killed the wrong man.
TORONTO — Citing newly unsealed police warrant documents, CBC News has added significant new details to the profile of the accused Ryan Wedding cartel member uncovered in York Regional Police’s explosive Project South investigation — which alleges that the suspect, Gurpreet Singh, was involved in a plot to assassinate a senior Ontario jail official. That alleged scheme, in The Bureau‘s analysis of the allegations, would have drawn on the same marketplace of teenage contract sicarios this publication has documented in the Greater Toronto Area.
SURREY — The federal government’s public position on India’s alleged role in transnational repression and violent criminal activity in Canada has undergone a dramatic shift over the past two years and no one seems to know, or is unable to say, why.
Senior federal Canadian policing officials now say they no longer believe the Indian government is linked to ongoing acts of violence on Canadian soil despite earlier statements to the contrary.
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s civil forfeiture director has moved to seize two Lower Mainland homes from Ravinder Singh Dhanda, the Vancouver-area long-haul trucking broker charged in Los Angeles with running an industrial cocaine and methamphetamine pipeline from California into Canada — the second Operation Hard Ball forfeiture action the province filed last week, a fresh sign that the director is racing the American prosecutions into British Columbia’s own courts.
Lawyers for Canada’s Minister of Public Safety will be in Federal Court Friday trying to keep an alleged Bishnoi gang member who faces a murder charge in India in custody while he fights the government’s efforts to deport him.
According to documents obtained by CBC News, FBI reports claim gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi personally tasked Karamveer Singh with “the responsibility to care for his brother Anmol” in California before Singh fled to Canada in 2025 after being denied immigration status in the United States.
I bet he walks.
Perhaps the most surprising part of the announcement of the joint Operation Hard Ball last week was how much the RCMP’s description of the actors involved in the killing of a Canadian Sikh activist differed from what it said only a short while ago.
“I firmly state that nothing has come out today to link the Indian government” to the operation, RCMP Deputy Commissioner Lisa Moreland told CBC’s Power & Politics.
“There’s no evidence to suggest through this organized crime investigation and the charges and the indictment laid forward that Indian officials were charged or involved
VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s civil forfeiture director has moved to seize more than $11 million in Vancouver-area real estate from Garinder Singh Deo, a longtime Lower Mainland gangster charged in the United States with facilitating an India-based transnational crime syndicate — in a claim built on years of suspicious transaction reports filed by Canadian banks to Fintrac, and on a parallel RCMP investigation that shadowed the FBI’s Operation Hard Ball.
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s Pacific ports have become an exploitable platform for what a new security analysis calls “hybrid threat pressure” — the non-kinetic tactics by which hostile states and transnational criminal networks penetrate supply chains, move contraband, launder money and position themselves inside critical infrastructure — because Canada never built the security architecture to match the trade strategy it laid over the Pacific.
“Brother Wang was very important. He was number one,” says Enrique, chuckling knowingly.
Enrique – not his real name – describes himself as a high-level co-ordinator in Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, one of the world’s most powerful criminal organisations.
On the outskirts of Sinaloa’s state capital city, Culiacán, sitting in a parked car where no-one can overhear him, he explains how ingredients to make the deadly drug fentanyl are shipped thousands of miles from Chinese factories to laboratories in Mexico. Members of his cartel credit Brother Wang with establishing this supply chain.
A violent transnational gang behind an extortion crisis, alleged murder-for-hire plots, and violence against Canada’s Sikh community is now the target of the FBI.
Members of the Bishnoi gang were among the 37 alleged criminals charged on July 7 in a multi-year investigation into three India-based crime gangs in what law enforcement are calling ‘Operation Hard Ball’.
That includes new charges against their jailed leader, Lawrence Bishnoi.
A Canadian drug trafficker who spent more than three years on the run — recently wanted by U.S. authorities in connection with a cross-border gun-smuggling plot involving a “sophisticated” criminal organization — has been captured while working out at a gym in Medellín, Colombia.
Video posted online by Colombia’s defence minister Wednesday night shows heavily armed security forces raiding the facility and a man later escorted away in handcuffs.
