Bill Majcher was a member of the Richmond Non-Partisan Association while working as an RCMP undercover operator.
There was a time when Bill Majcher was a community-minded guy coaching hockey and baseball while serving as a school trustee for what was then Richmond’s Non-Partisan Association.He got involved in politics after being encouraged by a parent to seek a seat on the school board, where growing enrolment from Asia, the need for more portables and new schools were becoming hot topics.
'Identify and intimidate an individual' Nearly two decades later, Majcher, 60, is believed to be in custody somewhere in Vancouver after the force he left in 2007 arrested him last week for allegedly using “his knowledge and his extensive network of contacts in Canada to obtain intelligence or services to benefit the People's Republic of China.”
Majcher, who had been living in Hong Kong with his family, is scheduled to appear July 25 at the Longueuil, Que., courthouse. It’s not clear where Majcher is being held in Vancouver or if he has been or will be transferred to Quebec. Project Norway Dubbed Project Norway, Majcher worked long hours buying heroin from dozens of dealers. His act seemed to work, although one dealer believed Majcher might be a police informant and sucker punched him as he walked out of the Columbia Hotel.
His work took him across the country, into the United States, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. He once posed as a frontman for a Colombian drug cartel in a money laundering probe that landed former Vancouver lawyer Martin Chambers in jail. 'I can deal with it' That thought was certainly on Majcher's mind when he was grilled by Chambers and his associates in a hotel room. The meeting wasn't planned, leaving Majcher without his cover team.
Majcher talked himself out of that situation, too. He told them his father was in the military, that Majcher was born in Canada, but grew up in America.Chambers, whom police say agreed to launder up to US$26 million per year, was sentenced in December 2003 to 15 years and eight months in jail. Along the way, there were also media reports that Majcher was considering a movie deal with stock promoter Kevan Garner, a man he helped send to prison in a sting operation.
