The country’s anti-money-laundering agency terminated former deputy director of intelligence Barry MacKillop in May, according to a document obtained by The Globe and Mail. The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada alleges that MacKillop asked an assistant director to meet with an employee identified in a suspicious transaction report without putting safeguards in place to avoid disclosing details from that report.

Talking point: The documents cited by the Globe are related to a grievance MacKillop has filed with the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board, seeking $400,000 in damages and the reinstatement of his position and security clearance. The report does not explain how the Fintrac employee came to be identified in the suspicious transaction report. The incident adds to Fintrac’s recent challenges, including calls for stronger enforcement in Canada amid TD Bank’s high-profile U.S. anti-money-laundering woes and a March cyber attack that still has not been fully resolved.
