BRAMPTON, ON, July 25, 2018 /CNW/ - The Integrated Bankruptcy Enforcement Unit, comprised of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB), have charged a Bolton, Ontario resident with offences related to her 2017 Bankruptcy.
Anie Mousa, age 40, of Bolton, Ontario will appear at Brampton Court of Justice, Brampton, Ontario on July 27th, 2018, where she will face charges in relation to the bankruptcy process.
Mousa is charged with six (6) counts of Obtaining Credit by False Pretence, two (2) counts of Uttering a Forged Document and one (1) count of Fraud Over $5,000 contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada.
The bankruptcy system is intended to afford a fresh start for the honest but unfortunate debtor. However, there are instances where individuals abuse the system by failing to comply with their regulatory duties under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act and/or engage in fraudulent activities contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. Offenders are identified by the OSB detection programs or through complaints from creditors, trustees or the general public.
Since January 2014, the Integrated Bankruptcy Enforcement Unit has charged 56 individuals with over 186 offences under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and 156 offences under the Criminal Code encompassing liabilities of approximately $111 million.
Should members of the public have any information related to bankruptcy fraud schemes they are urged to contact either the Ontario RCMP at 1-800-387-0020, the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy at 1-877-376-9902 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
