FINTRAC’s financial intelligence was recognized in separate—but coordinated—investigations by the Toronto Police Service (TPS) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Federal Policing Central Region’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET). During the TPS investigation, dubbed Project Neapolitan, three individuals were charged with 79 charges related to hate-motivated extremism. TPS investigators also uncovered links to terrorism, prompting a separate—but parallel—RCMP investigation. This led the RCMP to lay terrorism-related charges, including terrorist activity financing, against one individual in their investigation, contrary to the Criminal Code. With the financial transaction reports received from Canadian businesses across the country, FINTRAC is providing valuable assistance to law enforcement and national security investigations.FINTRAC’s financial intelligence was recognized in separate—but coordinated—investigations by the Toronto Police Service (TPS) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Federal Policing Central Region’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET).
