RCMP busts $40M+ U.A.E.-to-Canada money-laundering scheme
Two people and one company have been charged in connection with a complex money laundering and fraud scheme, with one of the accused still on the lam. Mounties say the owners of a money service business with locations in Calgary and Vancouver are alleged to have committed fraud against several financial institutions. More than $40 million was transferred into Canada from the United Arab Emirates using a 'complex network of shell companies and third-party banks' accounts.' 'The money laundering scheme was designed to disguise the source and nature of the funds, and to deliberately defeat the reporting requirements of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act,' said the RCMP in a Monday media release.

N.S. RCMP officer charged with another sexual assault offence
A Nova Scotia RCMP officer who is already facing sexual assault charges is now looking at an additional offence following an investigation by the Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT). SiRT says it launched the investigation after receiving a report of an alleged sexual assault by an RCMP officer in January 2023. The officer and the woman were known to each other. SiRT charged Const. William McNutt with sexual assault on Monday. He will appear in court in Shubenacadie on Thursday. SiRT has previously charged McNutt with alleged sexual assaults that occurred in 2023 and 2024. The RCMP suspended McNutt without pay in January 2024. SiRT investigates all matters involving sexual assault, intimate partner violence, serious injury and death that may have arisen due to the actions of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick police officers.

Regina man dead after serious crash on Highway 10
An RCMP cruiser can be seen in this file photo. A man is dead after a serious collision on Highway 10 between Fort Qu'Appelle and Regina late Monday night. On June 30, around 11:30 p.m., RCMP officers from the White Butte and Fort Qu'Appelle detachments responded to a two-vehicle crash on Highway 10 — located about 34 kilometres southwest of Fort Qu'Appelle. According to RCMP, a semi truck travelling towards Regina hauling hay collided with a pickup truck travelling northeast. The driver and lone occupant of the truck, a 45-year-old man from the Regina area, died at the scene. The driver of the semi did not report any injuries to police. Highway 10 was blocked for several hours through the night while investigators were at the scene. It has since reopened. In addition to police, EMS and fire services from Fort Qu'Appelle responded to the scene — as did STARS. The Saskatchewan RCMP continues to investigate the crash with the help of a collision reconstructionist.
