British Columbia Cartel

The British Columbia Cartel (or BC Cartel) is the largest and most powerful drug trafficking organisation and organised crime group in Canada. It is based in the port city of Vancouver, the third-largest city in Canada and largest city and economic hub of the province of British Columbia (BC) and the Canadian West Coast. The BC Cartel is allegedly headed by Lorenzo Enrique, who was in Canadian federal prison from 2016 to 2018, but ultimately released after a lengthy federal trial was declared a mistrial, with prosecutors unable to prove any criminal charges.

The BC Cartel controls at least 80% of the narcotics trade through Vancouver, importing Cocaine and Methamphetamine from Mexico and South America and opioids from Asia, and distributing throughout the country, especially to Eastern Canada, as well as trafficking to the United States.
