RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme says the force’s investigation into two Montreal Chinese organizations alleged to operate as Chinese police stations is based on “credible” information. The reaction comes as the organizations launched a nearly $5 million defamation lawsuit against the force for its investigation.

“It’s not the first time that we’re sued because we’re investigating,” RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme told Radio-Canada’s Les coulisses du pouvoir. “All I’m saying is that the information that was brought to us was credible enough for us to launch an investigation. That investigation is still ongoing at this time.”
