Four people are facing charges in connection with an investigation into a carfentanil trafficking network that operates from the greater Montreal area to export the highly potent synthetic opioid to the United States, mainly via the dark web, police say.

An investigation started in January 2025 culminated in four arrests on Feb. 25, the Quebec Provincial Police, known as Sûreté du Québec, said in a press release this week.
