Regina residents charged in money laundering and fraud scheme

The arrests are part of an earlier major financial crime and drug trafficking investigation by Regina police.

REGINA – Two more Regina residents have been arrested and charged following a money laundering investigation.

Aggrey Kwesi Buaben Fynn, 42, and Stephanie Dawn Fynn, 38, both of Regina, are charged with fraud exceeding $5,000 and laundering the proceeds of crime. The charges stem from a months-long investigation by the Regina Police Service (RPS) Commercial Crimes Unit, which uncovered evidence of large-scale money laundering and fraud tied to a drug trafficking operation.

The case originated in February 2024, when RPS Drug Unit investigators concluded a four-month operation leading to significant drug and cash seizures. During the investigation, police identified suspected money laundering activities by Kwesi Fynn.

Search warrants were executed at the Fynn’s home and businesses involved in vehicle sales and rental operations co-owned by Stephanie Fynn. Police allege the scheme involved millions of dollars.

The Fynns were arrested on May 22, and made their first court appearance Friday morning in Regina Provincial Court.

This case is connected to a February 2025 drug trafficking investigation that saw five individuals charged after RPS Drug Unit and RPS Street Gang Unit raided properties in Regina, Alameda, and Frobisher.

They seized 7.5 kg of fentanyl, 476 g of cocaine, $151,425 in cash, firearms, ammunition, and three vehicles. On Feb. 20 and 21, eight search warrants were executed under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The searches were done in Regina, Alameda, and Frobisher.

The total estimated street value of the seizure was approximately $1.5 million. Among those charged was Emmanuel Ramadan Bashir, 36, of Regina, accused of leading a criminal organization. Others charged with commission of an offence for a criminal organization and drug trafficking offences include Morteza Ahadi, 32, of Almeda, Randal Lee Racette, 44, of Regina, Tarick Polius, 24, and Michael Jourdan, 21, both of Toronto.

The RPS acknowledged the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) for its assistance in the investigation.

The RPS continues to investigate financial crimes linked to drug trafficking networks in the region.
