A 23-year-old employee of the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) in Ottawa has been charged with multiple offenses, including fraud, unauthorized computer use, identity theft, and trafficking identity information. Ibrahim El-Hakim allegedly accessed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s bank account and other profiles without authorization. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrested El-Hakim on July 10 for using RBC’s IT services for criminal purposes. He has since been released under specific conditions. RBC stated that it independently identified the unauthorized access and cooperated with law enforcement. El-Hakim is no longer employed by the bank. According to a court affidavit reported by La Presse, El-Hakim’s actions are believed to be linked to organized crime. He allegedly accessed former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s account on June 17 and was paid C$5,000 by a Telegram contact to create fake bank profiles and obtain lines of credit. El-Hakim, hired by RBC in 2022, worked near Parliament Hill in Ottawa. He was caught on video and confessed during an internal security interview. The suspect is scheduled to appear in court on October 1. Police confirmed there was no threat to Carney’s safety or national security.
