A man with a Punjabi-origin name is facing serious charges after the RCMP busted a "super lab" in a rural community of BC, seizing a historic amount of nearly half a billion dollars' worth of drugs, along with dozens of ready-to-use rifles, handguns, and explosives.
"The 95,500,000 potentially lethal doses of Fentanyl that have been seized could have taken the lives of every Canadian at least twice over," read the RCMP statement by Assistant Commissioner David Teboul, adding that, "Not only has this enforcement action potentially saved over 95 million lives, it has also served to deny this transnational organized crime group an estimated $485 million in profit."
In this video report from Falkland, BC, I explain that it’s not just the "little guys" getting caught with huge amounts of drugs; prominent figures in both Canada and Punjab have made international headlines, bringing shame and harm to their communities.
