http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/revenue-canada-corruption-feared-over-400k-cheque-to-nicolo-rizzuto-1.1868426
Nicolo Rizzuto, one of the most influential Italian mobsters in Québec owed the Canada Revenue Agency over 1.5 million in unpaid taxes around 2007. However, a cheque of $381,737.46 coming from the Montreal's department of this very same agency ended up in his family's hands (he was in jail at that time). The cheque was supposedly there to refund them tax money that they overpaid... Even if the cheque has never been cashed in because of the intervention of an anti-organized-crime unit policeman, it is surprising to see that an amount of money that big, addressed to one of the most known mobsters managed its way into the system without ever being questioned. It is most likely to be the result of corruption taking place into the Montreal department, which has been put under an investigation under a request filed by their head office. With corruption able to infiltrate national agencies, the future that seems to be ahead of us does not seem quite good. Let's hope that this storm is going to stay over our heads as shortly as possible.
