A Canada Revenue Agency employee is facing several fraud-related charges including breach of trust following a four-year investigation by the RCMP’s Federal Policing Pacific Region (FPPR) Sensitive Investigations Unit (SIU).
The SIU launched the investigation in March 2022 following a complaint from the Canada Revenue Agency that one of its employees had compromised taxpayer information.
On January 29, 2026, 35-year-old Yoan Zola, was arrested and charged in Vancouver with the following offences:
- Breach of trust
- Trafficking in identity information
- Identity theft
- Fraud under $5000
- Fraudulent personation
- Use of a credit card obtained by crime
He was released on bail conditions. His next appearance in Vancouver Provincial Court is on April 16, 2026.
Zola has since been fired from Revenue Canada.
The victims impacted by this matter have been informed. As this investigation is now before the courts, no further details will be provided.
