SURREY \u2014 A man has been arrested and extradited back to Canada from Germany after a four-year police investigation uncovered an alleged dark-web trafficking ring that distributed counterfeit pills containing fentanyl.<\/p>\n
A statement from the RCMP\u2019s Pacific region drug and organized crime team says 29-year-old Isaac Oliveira Scott was arrested in Germany in February and has now been returned to Canada to face charges related to trafficking, possession and firearms.<\/p>\n
Police say the investigation began in December 2022 when they learned of a group that was distributing pills containing illicit drugs across Canada using crypto currency, the dark web and Canada Post.<\/p>\n
Investigators then served a search warrant on a home in B.C.\u2019s Lower Mainland in February 2024, where the suspect was arrested, while stolen firearms and illicit drugs, such as fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine were seized.<\/p>\n
Police say Oliveira Scott was released and then left Canada in May 2025 before charges were laid, leading to a warrant for his capture.<\/p>\n
Mounties also say a second suspect in the case was charged in August 2025, but that man remains missing with his last confirmed location in the Rockland neighbourhood in Victoria last September.<\/p>\n
