Quick Glance: How Italy’s 'Ndrangheta Mafia Allegedly Infiltrated Canadian Banks
- A Canadian faction of the 'Ndrangheta allegedly had close relationships with employees at two major Canadian banks to facilitate their financial activities.
- Angelo Figliomeni, the suspected mob boss, was at the center of the investigation, indicating that bankers were involved in the money laundering process of the group.
- The investigation revealed that the 'Ndrangheta organization generated income through illegal activities such as gambling and loan sharking, which were used for money laundering by bankers like Martino.
- Police seized assets worth millions of dollars and closed around 500 accounts at the implicated banks. Charges against Figliomeni and his co-defendants were dropped due to procedural errors.
