RCMP still searching for 4 men wanted for human trafficking across Western Canada

The Saskatchewan RCMP has renewed its public appeal for information from the public to track down four men wanted on Canada-wide warrants.

All four are facing human-trafficking charges that were laid this summer after an 18-month investigation.

“In June 2021, we advised the public about four individuals wanted in relation to an investigation into a suspected human trafficking group operating across Western Canada,” explained an RCMP release.

“Continued investigation has occurred as a result of information received from the public, we are renewing our request for the public’s assistance to help us locate (the men).”

Billy Glenold-Fleury, Mali Jean, Kenny Jouthe and Bechir Ben Salah are the subject of the Canada-wide warrants and they’re wanted for:

• Trafficking Persons, section 279.01(1) of the Criminal Code.
• Material Benefit from Trafficking in Persons, section 279.02(1) of the Criminal Code.
• Withholding or Destroying Identity Documents, 279.03(1) of the Criminal Code.
• Charges relating to Participating in the Activities of a Criminal Organization, section 467.11(1) of the Criminal Code.

“These individuals all have ties to the provinces of Saskatchewan, Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia,” the RCMP release added.

“There are many different facets of human trafficking, the most commonly known being sexual exploitation or sex trafficking, which is different from the charges laid to date for this specific investigation.”

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of these four men is urged to contact their local police.
