OTTAWA—The federal anti−money laundering agency says it gave more than 2,000 intelligence leads to partners in the last fiscal year despite the havoc the COVID−19 pandemic created for the business world.
The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, known as Fintrac, tries to pinpoint cash linked to money laundering and terrorism by sifting through millions of bits of information from banks, insurance companies, securities dealers, real estate brokers, casinos and others.
