The police in Australia are cooperating with police services from China, Canada, Taiwan and the United States in the hunt for a drug trader who would earn billions of euros a year from the trade in (among other things) crystal meth: the Canadian Tse Chi Lop (55 ). Documents that the Reuters news agency has seen show that the police see him as one of the largest drug traffickers in the world.


Methamphetamine
The cartel he was to lead could be compared in terms of turnover and size to the Sinaloa cartel of Joaquín Guzman, who had since been sentenced to life imprisonment . That is why Tse Chi Lop is also referred to as the "El Chapo of Asia". According to Reuters, the investigation is led by the Australian police, but receives support from police services from countries such as Taiwan, China, Canada and the United States. Reuters had files from the American and Taiwanese authorities. It would be the largest international police operation in Asia to date.

Tse is said to be one of the leaders of an organization of five groups referred to as "The Company" or "Sam Gor". Other leaders are drug criminals from Hong Kong, Myanmar and China.


Methamphetamine is the core business of the network. China is important in that world because the chemical industry of that country produces raw materials for meth on a large scale. But the cartel also produces and trades heroin and ketamine. One smuggling method was a line in tea packs to countries such as Japan and New Zealand. In Japan, Sam Gor would collaborate with the Yakuza, and furthermore with Australian motorcycle gangs and ethnic Chinese gangs in Southeast Asia.

The United Nations Agency for Drugs and Crime (UNODC) estimates the group's profit in 2018 at 8 billion dollars, but noted that that amount could also be 17 billion dollars. According to the UN, the cartel has a 40 to 70 percent share in the market for crystal meth. This market has - at least due to growth in Asia - become at least four times as large in the last five years.

Heroin smuggling
Tse Chi Lop was born in China but moved to Canada in 1988 and lived in New York in 1998 where he was convicted of heroin trafficking in a court case. He was barely nine years in prison, a low sentence, because his parents and son were in need of care. He was released in 2006 and returned to Canada according to police.

Since then it would have been a criminal offense for him and he would have amassed a huge personal fortune. Tse's reputation has the proportions of an opponent of James Bond from the films of the same name. He loves five-star hotels, luxury country houses, copious parties and has 24-hour surveillance of a bunch of Thai kick boxers. After a stay in the gambling city of Macau, he would have had to pay a bill of 60 million dollars.

Not much has changed since the 1920s, the Golden Triangle is still the number one producer and nothing happens without the consent of the military and militias in Myanmar.

How Asian Drug-Trafficking Networks Operate in Europe
Recent Sam Gor arrests in Europe reveal the transcontinental reach of the drug syndicate.

https://thediplomat.com/2021/03/how-asian-drug-trafficking-networks-operate-in-europe/

Quote
The original docket entry for Tse stems from a 1997 international drug trafficking case, codenamed “Sunblock,” in which Tse conspired with members of the Rizzuto crime family in Montreal to smuggle heroin into New York City. Tse was arrested and extradited from Hong Kong in 1998. He pleaded guilty to the charges in New York in 2000 and was sentenced to nine years. Freed in 2006, Tse did most of his time at the federal correctional facility in Elkton, Ohio.

He united some of the largest rival triads groups into one drug cartel, that`s pretty impressive.

14K Triad, Wo Shing Wo, Sun Yee On, Big Circle Gang and Bamboo Union. Sam Gor has to be one of the largest syndicates in the world.

Although as I understand only some factions/individual figures in those triads were involved in his drug network. And they don`t really operate like a syndicate? they are a drug cartel so each faction would still remain independent in daily operation outside of drug importation. I don't think dragon heads of 14K and Wo Shing Wo would allow someone to actually control one of their own factions.

“The Company” controls the industrial-scale production of Meth, Heroin and Ketamine.

Big Circle Gang? Is that the same as the Big Circle Boys?
https://globalnews.ca/news/4667198/who-are-the-big-circle-boys/

The BCB were business parts with Rizzuto, I’ll assume that is still true, don’t think the Calabrese are moving heroin on bulk.

most of these people are in Hong Kong and Taiwan and are not connected to Tse Chi Lop or Sam Gor. Triads factions usually work quite independently even though they are under one banner.

The 57-year-old Canadian suspected drug tycoon Tse Chi Lop may be extradited to Australia. The court in Rotterdam determined this on Friday. The man was arrested in the Netherlands earlier this year at the request of the Australian authorities, who want to prosecute him for possible involvement in drug smuggling.

The Canadian was on his way from Taiwan - where he lived - to his home country of Canada on Friday, January 22. The arrest was at Schiphol, where he made a stopover.

Tse risks a life sentence in Australia and fears an unfair trial. “Mass media call me the king of a drug cartel, but that's not right. I am afraid that if I go to Australia and there is a trial, the judge will treat me unjustly with colored glasses. Media spread rumors that are not the truth, that's why I'm very afraid," Tse told the court in Rotterdam last week.

However, the judge thinks otherwise and assumes "trust in the Australian legal system and a fair trial in that country."

Australia formally asks for Tse's extradition because he allegedly imported several dozen kilos of hard drugs in 2013. But according to Australian media, the drug lord would be responsible for 70 percent of all drugs entering Australia. Tse's lawyer André Seebregts therefore expects the Australians to expand the charges considerably later.

"It has not yet been revealed whether the suspect will be prosecuted in Australia for more offenses," said the judge. “If Australia is planning to do that, then it can't just happen. Australia then needs permission from the Dutch Minister of Justice and Security.”

The paramilitary Big Circle Boys. It was this criminal group which Tse joined at a young age.

THE COMPANY MAN.
Tse Chi Lop, the suspected ringleader of a $21-billion crime syndicate, may be the world’s most innovative drug lord. And Toronto was his training ground.
