Edmonton 'ground zero' for South Asian community extortion plots: RCMP
Edmonton appears to be ground zero for extortion plots that have criminally extracted millions from successful business people within its South Asian community, says a Surrey, British Columbia-based senior law enforcement leader with the RCMP. Article content 'Edmonton was probably the first place that started to see the series of extortions in the fall of 2023 really. And then, of course, we saw extortions here in the Lower Mainland, as well as in Peel Region in Ontario,' RCMP Superintendent Adam MacIntosh told Postmedia in a phone interview this week. Article content Article content Article content 'In January of 2024, the RCMP said, 'Obviously, there's connections across the country. We need to look at how we might be able to support the police of jurisdictions across the country.'' Article content Article content In addition to being in charge of NCST, MacIntosh wears the hat of leading the Cyber and Financial Investigation Teams (CFIT) in British Columbia — both high stakes, high accountability roles, generating intelligence and evidence through investigation, looking for inter-relation of crimes across the country, and internationally. Article content Edmonton as incubator Article content The NCST supported the Edmonton Police Service as a ring of extortion emerged in the Project Gaslight investigation where South Asian home builders were being targeted via arson, and continues to probe other organized crime, including transnational events, drug trafficking, cyber security and national security,. Article content Article content 'You should be very proud of the work done by the Edmonton Police Service in Project Gaslight. They've done some fantastic policing which has resulted in positive outcomes of suppression through enforcement and charges,' said MacIntosh. Article content Article content 'They stood up another new task force, and there's simply some really great work going across this country with police agencies around a very complicated, sophisticated group of organized crime related to these extortions.' Article content The suspected kingpin charged in Project Gaslight, is still in Dubai. Canadian authorities are planning to extradite Maninder Singh Dhaliwal, who has an Aug. 1 Edmonton court date, along with four other Edmontonians charged in the case.
