Unknown Canadian
The Unknown Canadian is a key figure in the development of Encrochat, a secure communication platform that was exploited for criminal activities, including drug trafficking and money laundering. Arrested in Switzerland in July 2024, he faces extradition to France, where authorities allege he has been operating the service for illicit purposes since at least 2014. His legal battle against extradition includes arguments about his family life, as he wishes to remain in Switzerland to support his wife and child.
