Investigators from the Ontario Provincial Police (PPO) uncovered a drug trafficking scheme allegedly orchestrated from within a prison in Bordeaux. The primary suspect, 46-year-old Wilson Duarte-Rosario, was reportedly using a smuggled mobile phone to coordinate cocaine transactions.
Operation REDLINE Unveiled
The PPO initiated an investigation approximately one year ago, focusing on a network that trafficked cocaine and other controlled substances in Cornwall and surrounding areas. This operation was codenamed REDLINE.
Authorities employed a deeply infiltrated undercover officer who was aware of the criminal activities of significant drug traffickers. The operation identified that from fall 2025 to spring 2026, suspects trafficked up to several kilograms of controlled substances directed toward this undercover agent.
Details of Drug Transactions
Throughout the investigation, the undercover agent engaged in several drug deals, receiving one kilogram of cocaine on four separate occasions, totaling four kilograms. Financial transactions varied between CAD 23,000 and CAD 32,000, with an additional CAD 2,000 paid for brokerage fees.
Key Transaction Events
- The undercover officer met an unidentified man in a Montreal parking lot.
- The man provided the password “Taco,” which Duarte-Rosario and his partner had given to the officer.
- In exchange for CAD 31,500, the officer received one kilogram of cocaine.
Laboratory tests conducted by Health Canada confirmed that the seized cocaine was over 89% pure.
Additional Drug Trafficking Activities
Duarte-Rosario’s partner, 52-year-old Clarisa Gil Corcino, allegedly contacted the undercover officer about the price of counterfeit Dilaudid and Percocet pills. She claimed the profits would support Duarte-Rosario during his incarceration.
After meeting the officer, Gil Corcino presented samples of counterfeit hydromorphone and codeine pills. Subsequent analysis revealed the pills contained a dangerous opioid, N-desethylisotonitazene, which was added to the list of new psychoactive substances in Canada in 2023. This opioid is significantly more hazardous than fentanyl.
Suspects and Charges
Apart from Duarte-Rosario, several individuals from Montreal, including Gil Corcino, 31-year-old Yandari Gil, 19-year-old Valentina Prieto-Gutierrez, 39-year-old Tyson Singfield, and 32-year-old Jimmy Sosa-Posada, face charges. The charges include drug trafficking and possession of property obtained through criminal means valued over CAD 5,000.
Notably, Sosa-Posada had a previous drug trafficking charge in 2019 but benefited from a stay of proceedings.
Duarte-Rosario is currently serving a two-year sentence linked to a previous incident involving armed assault and kidnapping, which reportedly occurred in a domestic violence context around the time these drug trafficking crimes were committed.
