$6M fraud leads to extradition from U.S. for former Mississauga resident

A former Mississauga resident has been extradited from the United States after a “large-scale, fraudulent-billing scheme” that saw around $6 million in losses, police say.

Toronto police said in a news release Wednesday that between 2017 and 2022, a fraud scheme occurred involving a commercial project in the University Avenue and Richmond Street West area.

Police allege the suspect billed his employer — the property management company responsible for maintenance of the project — for supplies that were never ordered and for work that wasn’t done.

Losses attributed to the fraud totaled around $6 million, police said.

The accused, meanwhile, moved to the United States, police said.

Last Thursday (Sept. 5), the suspect was extradited from Orlando, Florida to Toronto.
