Following an investigation in July 2020, Langley RCMP seized 67,370 in European Union currency, $6,554.70 in Canadian currency, $130 in U.S. currency and two one-ounce gold bars

A summer 2020 police investigation in Langley led to the seizure of cash and gold valued at nearly $120,000 allegedly linked to drug trafficking.

In a claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Jan. 18, the B.C. Forfeiture Office seeks to have the cash and gold forfeited as proceeds of crime.

Following an investigation in July 2020, Langley RCMP seized 67,370 in European Union currency, $6,554.70 in Canadian currency, $130 in U.S. currency and two one-ounce gold bars.

“The money and gold bars are proceeds and instruments of unlawful activity,” said the forfeiture claim.

Named in the suit is North Vancouver-resident Ljubomir Janjanin.

The accusations include selling, promoting, supplying, producing and possession of illicit cannabis contrary to the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act.

Also on the list is a failure to declare taxable income.
