Archie Alafriz - Following The Money

Archie Alafriz spent the majority of his 27-year RCMP career working in the National Security Program where he investigated a myriad of listed terrorist entities including Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, al-Shabaab and ISIS and was the team lead in Canada's landmark terrorist fundraising case. 

 Since his retirement from policing in 2018, he published his first novel, Inoculum; an intelligence-based challenge to the accepted historical version of events that led to 9-11, served as the CEO of a First Nations Economic Development Enterprise and assisted the Province of BC in analyzing money laundering trends in real estate and luxury vehicles. 

He is a senior fellow at the Global Peace Institute (UK), a fellow at the Asia Pacific Center of Security Studies (APCSS), sits as Chairman for the International Organization for Security and Intelligence (IOSI Global) and in 2022, launched Lucent Global Solutions which provides evidence-based court-defensible compliance verification and financial investigation and intelligence services.

On this episode Archie discusses Canada's anti-money laundering regime,  the history behind many of the activities exposed by the media that led to British Columbia's Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering, and the potential impact of incentivizing the shadow economy to go straight.
