A Calgary drug lord who led a 40-year criminal organization called “The Family” pleaded guilty to a drug trafficking offence Thursday and was handed a 10-year sentence.
CALGARY The Calgary Police Service says the leader of a high-profile local drug network known as The Family was allegedly involved in human trafficking and warrants have been issued for an alleged accomplice. Investigators say at least two women were trafficked and at least one alleged they were assaulted if they did not comply with the demands of the leader and his associate. This group targeted women who were vulnerable to manipulation and control because of their addiction, said Staff Sgt. Jodi Gach. They preyed on at least two women that we currently know about, though we know they had a vast network in Calgary.
