CRIME PAYS
Although it's impossible to verify the breadth and wealth of organized crime in Canada, one estimate suggests that the underground commerce in this country generates $20 billion a year.

From drug smuggling and illegal gambling to counterfeiting and extortion and more, crime is big business here and, for some leaders of Canada's crime families and gangs, Crime Pays. Bob McKeown and a fifth estate crew set out to investigate this murky world and identify some of its wealthiest bosses.

They focused on five individuals, ranging from an established Mafia family to the working class of Montreal and Halifax's ports and to a chapter of Vancouver's Hell's Angels. What they found was a sea-to-shining-sea rogue's gallery, a catalogue of smart, organized and ruthless businessmen.
