Mastermind of Canada’s largest gold heist admits to $20M theft at Pearson airport, paying off ‘debt list’

“Mastermind”

After pulling off the largest gold heist in Canadian history — a $24-million haul stolen from Pearson airport — Arsalan Chaudhary took a portion of the spoils for himself and then distributed the profits to names on his handwritten “debt list,” a Brampton court heard on Monday.

Reading from an agreed statement of facts, Crown attorney Jelena Vlacic detailed the money list police found in Chaudhary’s apartment — a $10.3-million ledger he’d penned to track the distribution of profits from the melted gold.
