The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have launched an investigation into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s controversial dealings with India’s Narendra Modi. The RCMP are looking into allegations of influence peddling and bribes in relation to Modi’s visit to Canada in 2015. The investigation comes after a report by the Canadian broadcaster CBC, which claimed that Modi’s advisors offered to influence Canadian politicians in exchange for visas for two businessmen. The RCMP have confirmed that they are investigating, but have not yet named any suspects. The investigation is likely to cause tensions between Canada and India, as Modi has been a close ally of Trudeau’s government.
