Canada federal police probing new ‘rogue Chinese police stations’
- The 2 Montreal-area facilities are allegedly conducting harassment of Chinese-Canadians and overseas Chinese, as well as other illegal operations
- This follows the dismantling of other stations in Canada believed to have been part of a network of more than 50 worldwide – which Beijing has denied
Canadian federal police said Thursday they are investigating new rogue Chinese police stations in the Montreal area said to have been set up to carry out illegal policing operations on foreign soil and harass Chinese expatriates.
This follows the dismantling of several other stations in Canada that were believed to have been part of a network of more than 50 worldwide – which Beijing has denied.
In an email, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Charles Poirier said the force’s national security unit “is conducting investigations targeting alleged Chinese police stations in Quebec”.
He identified the two stations as being located in Montreal and its suburb of Brossard.
