A recently released RCMP intelligence report has revealed that several of Canadian organized crime groups, who were previously known to have been using American middlemen to conduct their drugs supplying transactions from Mexico, have now generally begun ditching them and rather started dealing directly with their Mexican counterparts in order to boost profits.
However, the report primarily pointed out that this practice has resulted in violent consequences. It was highlighted that a minimum of 10 Canadians popular for being “active in drug-trafficking in Canada” and having “extensive criminal associations” in Canada, have been found shot or killed in Mexico since 2008. The report submitted on May 2012 was acquired by media sources through access-to-information legislation.
A spokesperson of B.C.’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, commented on the situation saying that “our violence and our organized crime problem is being exported to other countries like Mexico. And our citizens are being caught up in what’s happening down there. It doesn’t matter if you’re the biggest, baddest cocaine trafficker in B.C. , you’re going to a place where tens of thousands of people are being murdered and you’re nothing down there. Violence is an intrinsic feature in the drug trade down there.” He elucidated that “Canadians going there to conduct this illicit business are either choosing to ignore what they’re going into or they’re completely ignorant of the fact that they may be going into some of the most violent places on this planet.”
