A police investigation in the Queen City has led to fraud and money laundering charges against a pair of executives at an auto group.
According to police, the charges were uncovered in the process of an unrelated four-month investigation that led to a large seizure of drugs, weapons and cash in February. That case saw police seize 7.5 kilograms of fentanyl and 476 grams of cocaine, along with more than $150,000 in cash, three vehicles, and multiple firearms. Five people were charged at the time – including two University of Regina Rams football players.

In February, police in Regina seized 7.5 kilograms of fentanyl and 476 grams of cocaine, along with more than $150,000 in cash, three vehicles, and multiple firearms. (Regina Police Service)
“During the investigation, police uncovered information leading them to believe that a 42-year-old man was involved in laundering money for a drug trafficking operation,” the Regina Police Service said in a news release.
“The Regina Police Service Commercial Crimes Unit took over the financial investigation, executing search warrants at the suspect’s residence and businesses involved in vehicle sales and rentals, co-owned by a 38 year-old woman.”
According to police, those searches “uncovered evidence of additional, unrelated money laundering and fraud totaling millions of dollars.”
As a result, police said 42-year-old Aggrey Kwesi Buaben Fynn and 38-year-old Stephanie Dawn Fynn, both residents of Regina, were jointly charged with fraud over $5,000 and laundering the proceeds of crime.
According to the website for Rev Auto Group, Stephanie Fynn serves as the company’s CEO, while Aggrey Fynn serves as its president.
Both made their first court appearances on Friday morning, the news release said.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This story has been updated because of a clarification from Regina Police Service to say these charges were unrelated to the February seizure.
