Extortion networks in Canada: Feds unveil plan to tackle rise in economic crimes | LIVE

Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is set to hold a press conference Monday where he will outline the Government of Canada’s plan to combat economic crime activities that harm Canadian individuals, businesses and communities.

Champagne is also expected to provide an update on growing cases of extortion across Canada and the development of the ‘National Anti-Fraud Strategy’.

According to the government, this strategy aims to: “establish a robust, multi-sector approach to combatting fraud throughout its entire lifecycle — from averting fraudsters’ initial contact with victims, to preventing fraudulent transactions, to mitigating harms to fraud victims.”

Earlier in the month, the Canada Border Services Agency opened 372 immigration investigations in an effort to “disrupt extortion networks” across the nation.
