Toronto, February 6: Amit Kumar, the alleged mastermind in the multi-crore kidney transplant racket, may lose his permanent resident status in Canada once he is convicted of organ trafficking and could face charges for “dirty money” transactions, according to an immigration expert.

“Canadian law is very specific about that. Once you are convicted for any serious crime where maximum term exceeding ten years, you may lose permanent residence status and deported back to home country,” Salim Momin, an immigration expert, said on Tuesday.

He said Kumar will lose his Canadian status even if the crime has been committed outside this country.

Kumar may also face charges for money laundering under the Proceeds of Crime and Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act, Momin said.

The Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCTFA), requires various professions, such as accountants, to report suspicious “dirty-money” transactions and cross-border movements of currency and monetary instruments, he said.
