Calgary man admitted to being ‘reckless in his knowledge' as he laundered $800K
The Calgary Courts Centre pictured in Calgary, Monday, May 6, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh A Calgary man targeted in a large-scale investigation into organized crime, drugs and money laundering has admitted to funnelling the better part of a million dollars. According to an agreed statement of facts put before a Calgary court this week, Talal Fouani used his business accounts to launder about $800,000. Fouani, along with his brother and sister, was arrested in December 2022 and charged with money laundering, possession of proceeds of crime and participation in a criminal organization. They were not the main targets of the investigation but were alleged to have criminal involvement with those individuals. In May 2023, Fouani pleaded guilty to money laundering, and the charges against his family members/business partners were withdrawn. In September 2024, proceedings against the main targets of the investigation were stayed. On Tuesday, the better part of a year after Fouani's guilty plea, the agreed statement of facts put before the court outlined what he admitted. Fouani admitted to moving $1.6 million in relation to a real estate deal involving one of the investigation's main targets between July 2020 and February 2021. Of that, he admitted $800,000 was laundered and likely ill-gotten. He said he was 'reckless in his knowledge that the cash was likely proceeds of crime.' Fouani will be back in court on Sept. 29 to set a date for sentencing. The sentencing date itself will likely land in October or November, the Crown has said. 2022 shooting in Evergreen In August 2022, Fouani and his wife, Nakita Baron, were shot while inside their vehicle in the driveway of their southwest Calgary home. Fouani suffered life-threatening injuries. Baron died in the attack. Police said at the time they believed the pair were targeted. Michael Tyrel Arnold, a Sherwood Park man, has been found guilty of second-degree murder for Baron's death and attempted murder for Fouani's shooting.
