Canada launches money-tracking crackdown on surge in violent extortion crimes, especially in Ontario’s Peel Region, with $1.7B and new laws.
The federal government has launched a "follow the money" strategy to combat a surge in extortion crimes, particularly in Ontario’s Peel Region, where 476 cases were reported in 2025.
The plan strengthens collaboration between Fintrac, law enforcement, and financial institutions, including banks and cryptocurrency providers, to track suspicious transactions and disrupt criminal networks.
Fintrac will embed agents with local police, share intelligence, and publish guidance on money laundering tactics.
The effort responds to rising threats, often involving violence and targeting South Asian communities, and follows concerns raised by mayors and police.
