Extortion Task Force Takes Down International Criminal Group Targeting South Asian Community
FINTRAC
Region of Peel – Peel Regional Police have arrested 17 individuals, majority of whom have ties to an international criminal network known as For Brothers, which targeted South Asian business owners and community members across the region, Canada and the United States. Led by the Extortion Task Force, the investigation dismantled a coordinated campaign of intimidation, threats, and escalating violence used to extort local businesses. The organized criminal network is allegedly responsible for a series of targeted attacks against the Region of Peel’s South Asian community. They are believed to have been active in Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon, and British Columbia, with links to California.
