Major Fraud Unit press conference

The 23 members of the Major Fraud Unit investigated over 1000 incidents of fraud, counterfeit currency, credit and debit card fraud and identity theft in 2011.
 

In 2011 our Major Fraud investigators, in partnership with the Canada Border Services Agency and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, also charged 14 people with 145 offences following a lengthy investigation into a $10 million fraud ring. The organized group is accused of defrauding financial institutions, corporations, government agencies and insurance companies by using forged foreign passports to obtain legitimate government identification.
