Workshop 7 - Extortion and Emerging AML Threats: A Law Enforcement Perspective

Tuesday, September 22, 2026

10:25 - 11:25 AM EST

Extortion is surging, and it’s getting smarter, faster, and harder to detect. Join experts from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for a high-impact session on the threats reshaping Canada’s AML landscape.

From ransomware and sextortion to virtual asset abuse, fraud-driven laundering, and trade-based schemes, this session cuts through the noise to spotlight what’s happening right now

and what’s coming next. Backed by real cases and operational insight, RCMP presenters will

reveal how these threats move through the financial system and what reporting entities are

missing.

Walk away with sharp, practical intelligence you can use immediately: stronger red flags,

clearer reporting triggers, and a better understanding of where AML risk is heading.
