Bill Majcher sues CSIS

The Asian Pacific Post is reporting that "William Majcher, a veteran Mountie, is suing the Canadian government, its spy agency and the RCMP, accusing his former employers of abusing their powers, fabricating a national security threat and orchestrating his unlawful arrest."

"Majcher, was acquitted earlier this year of charges linked to alleged Chinese foreign interference . The former RCMP inspector, now based in Hong Kong, makes several explosive allegations in the lawsuit, including that CSIS asked him to commit criminal offences." Nice!

Majcher alleges in his statement of claim, that:

CSIS asked him to commit criminal offences. Majcher alleges he had previously assisted CSIS as a civilian, was given encrypted communications equipment and was asked to engage in conduct that would violate Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act and Britain’s Bribery Act. He says he refused.

CSIS turned on him after he refused. The lawsuit alleges the intelligence service began increasing its scrutiny of Majcher after he declined to carry out the alleged unlawful activities.

An international “espionage alert” was issued against him. Majcher alleges CSIS distributed an alert to Canadian and foreign institutions that resulted in him being refused boarding on a flight from Hong Kong to London in July 2023.

False intelligence was passed to the RCMP and foreign agencies. The claim alleges CSIS circulated inaccurate, incomplete or false information about Majcher, contributing to the RCMP investigation and his eventual arrest.

Investigators ignored information that contradicted their theory. Majcher alleges authorities obtained detailed accounts of his business dealings and contacts that were exculpatory, while relying heavily on information supplied by Chrustie.

Chrustie supplied false and misleading information. Majcher accuses the former RCMP superintendent of portraying legitimate business dealings and contacts with former police officers as evidence he was building a network to assist Chinese influence operations.

The investigation was politically driven. The lawsuit alleges CSIS and other federal authorities pursued Majcher as pressure mounted on Ottawa to demonstrate it was taking a tougher line on alleged Chinese foreign interference.

His arrest destroyed his businesses. Majcher alleges his company, Nupaf Limited was de-banked, lost government clients and revenues, and that he was forced to resign as managing partner. Jubilant Dragon Limited, another company Majcher was associated with, also allegedly lost business because he could no longer fulfil consulting contracts.

Federal authorities interfered with his commercial relationships The claim alleges CSIS warned Canadian companies that their security clearances could be jeopardized if they continued doing business with companies associated with Majcher.

"The plaintiffs are seeking $50 million in damages, plus $5 million in punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages, along with declarations that Majcher’s Charter rights were breached."

Now that's what I'm talking about. This man is a patriot. Costs in the cause.
