As the result of an extensive, three year investigation, the RCMP Integrated Proceeds of Crime Unit laid charges of money laundering and possession of proceeds of crime against 36-year-old Dennis Atilla Kisfalvi of Winnipeg.
In March 2008, Kisfalvi was the subject of a Winnipeg Police Service investigation resulting in the execution of search warrants at two properties on Kingston Row in Winnipeg. Charges of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, production of cocaine and possessing proceeds of crime were laid in connection with this investigation and that matter remains before the court.
In addition to drugs, the Winnipeg Police Service Organized Crime Unit seized approximately $150,000 in Canadian, American and Costa Rican currency, several diamonds and a Rolex watch. These items were turned over to the RCMP Integrated Proceeds of Crime Unit prompting an investigation into Kisfalvi’s finances.
The IPOC investigation included the seizure and restraint of a boat, a Harley Davidson motorcycle as well as Kisfalvi’s residence on Kingston Row and his cottage at Lake of the Woods. All believed to be the proceeds of illicit drug trafficking.
On April 1, 2011, Dennis Atilla Kisfalvi was served a summons to appear in Winnipeg court on May 5, 2011.
The IPOC investigative team is a specialized, integrated Unit dedicated to investigating financial crime. It is made of up members of the RCMP, Winnipeg Police Service, Canada Revenue Agency, Crown Attorneys from Public Prosecution Service Canada, accountants from the Forensic Accounting Management Group and Seized Property Management Directorate employees.
