A significant crackdown on a cocaine trafficking operation has led to the indictment of 16 defendants, including a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder. The accused faces multiple charges, including drug trafficking and involvement in four murders across North America. U.S. law enforcement describes the ex-Olympian as a key figure who allegedly ordered the killings related to the drug trade. Authorities have linked this extensive network, which reportedly shipped hundreds of pounds of cocaine from Southern California to Canada, to a double homicide in Ontario. The case has raised alarms about the intersection of organized crime and high-profile athletes, positioning the former snowboarder as a central figure in the alleged cartel activities.
