Integrated Proceeds Of Crime Unit: FINTRAC Canada

Federal Court Of Canada Dept: Lai Tong Sang, the alleged "dragon head" of the Shui Fung gang who fled a bloody turf war by coming to Canada, was the subject of an investigation by the Integrated Proceeds of Crime Unit, according to documents filed with the Federal Court of Canada in Vancouver, according to Calgary Herald. However the standard of proof in an immigration matter is less than in a criminal court, it notes, and immigration officials point to a report from FINTRAC Canada's financial intelligence agency to contend there are reasonable grounds to believe Lai "was or is" involved in money laundering activities. From Oct. 15, 2002 to Nov. 8, 2006, investigators tracked 49 separate electronic funds transfers and vANCOUVER - An accused triad leader from Macau laundered millions of dollars of dirty money in Canada as immigration officials waited over a decade for access to police wiretap information that allowed them to move to have him deported, court documents show. "I was informed that although the subject's financial record and transactions indicate trends of money laundering activity, they did not have sufficient evidence to meet the criminal standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt," says the December 2011 report by Canada Border Services Agency.
