OTTAWA — Efforts by Canada's financial intelligence agency over the last three years uncovered activity related to homegrown terrorism, the bankrolling of international terrorist groups and attempts by Canadians to take part in extremism abroad.
The centre zeroes in on cash linked to terrorism, money laundering and other crimes by sifting through data from banks, insurance companies, securities dealers, money service businesses, real estate brokers, casinos and others.Using the information gleaned from Canadian businesses, the centre made 355 disclosures in 2021-22 to Canada's law enforcement and national security agencies in support of investigations related to terrorist activity financing.
Lone actors tended to be self-funded, sometimes through payroll or government-assistance deposits, the centre found. None of the domestic tracking was linked in any way to the"Freedom Convoy" protests of last winter, as they did not involve terrorist activity or financing, MacKillop said in an interview.
