A sixteen-month undercover operation was conducted in the greater Toronto area from July 1996 to October 1997. The case was a joint effort between the RCMP and Peel Regional Police. The operation culminated in the seizure of three hundred kilograms of cocaine valued at $90,000,000 (ninety million dollars). It was the largest seizure ever in the region of Peel. It severely disrupted a cell of Colombian based traffickers, three of whom have already pleaded guilty. KRATC-USMAN’s role was that of a high ranking representative of a cocaine organization in South America. He was in Canada to evaluate the Canadian operation and gave the final approval for the traffickers to attempt to smuggle in the cocaine. The RCMP consider KRATC-USMAN to be among the very upper echelon of international cocaine traffickers.
