The male whose passport identified him as Robert James Dinh had a long criminal history in Canada. The Attorney General's Office of the State of Quintana Roo confirmed that this subject was allegedly accused of the crimes of drug trafficking, false identity use, money laundering, among others.
According to information published in 2019 by Kim Bolan of the Vancouver Sun newspaper, Robert Dinh or Cong Dinh, then 32 years old, he was mainly wanted for the crime of money laundering.
At that time Dinh was believed to have fled to Vietnam, so the Canadian Police (RCMP) in coordination with the Be On the Lookout (BOLO) program offered a reward of $50,000 for those who will help
Arrest Cong Dinh, suspected of money laundering in a member of the Vietnamese organised crime group operating in Canada and the United States.
Authorities alleged "that Dinh and the Vietnamese organised crime group to which he belonged laundered millions of dollars of drugs trafficked on Canadian streets."
Keith Finn of the Canadian Police said that the criminal organisation "wasupposedly transporting ecstasy and marijuana to the southern United States. U.S. and cocaine in northern Canada" and had affiliates in California, Mexico, Australia, Vietnam and throughout Canada.
He assured: "We are committed to continuous collaboration with our national and international partners and we hope that this new relationship with the BOLO Program will be the key to locating Dinh so that he can be returned to Canada to respond to these charges."
Dinh's house on Goring Street, Burnaby, was raided by the RCMP in 2013 in connection with the joint investigation between the United States and Canada.
The now murdered had five charges of laundering the proceeds of crime and one charge of possession of the proceeds of crime.
U.S. court documents indicate that undercover police officers from both sides of the border infiltrated the Nguyen Drug Trafficking Organisation (DTO) as early as 2009.
The documents describe that Dinh worked for Nguyen, who boasted in wiretapping of having the best prices for cocaine, "BC chicken" and ecstasy.
Nguyen "fixed the transfer of drug trafficking profits from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Orange County, California, through a hawala fund transfer (an alternative remittance system that transfers money without the transfer
Physical or electronic funds)," says the accusation of the United States.
Dinh provided an undercover RCMP operator with hundreds of thousands of Canadian dollars for each transaction, which would be converted into US funds and left in public places such as Starbucks and McDonald's in California.
Today Roberth Dinh or Cong Dinh was killed by a gunman at the Xcaret Hotel in the Riviera along with another man identified as Thomas Cherukara.
So far the murderer remains at large but the authorities continue to search for him.
Regarding the violent events, Grupo Xcaret regrets what happened and assured that they are providing support to the victims and their families.
They also expressed that he is collaborating with the authorities to clarify what happened.
