Canada’s financial intelligence agency, also known as FINTRAC, has uncovered a ring of criminal networks that are using international students from India to extort the country’s South Asian diaspora.
“Extortion targeting South Asian communities in Canada has evolved from sporadic threats into a sustained campaign of coercion that blends intimidation, opportunistic violence, and trans provincial coordination, with notable concentrations in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario,” wrote the agency in a newly released Special Bulletin.
