RCMP charge three men they allege are behind Canadian gangster’s jailbreak
September 8, 2025
The RCMP say a B.C. man and two men from Ottawa have been charged in the 2022 jailbreak of one of Canada’s most wanted gangsters.
At a Monday news conference in their British Columbia headquarters, Mounties said Ottawa’s Edward Ayoub and John Potvin, both nearly 50, had been charged along with Ryan Van Gool, from the small Fraser Valley community of Harrison Hot Springs, east of Vancouver, with prison breach and conspiracy.
The trio are accused of facilitating the brazen breakout of Rabih Alkhalil from a jail in Port Coquitlam, B.C., three years ago while he was on trial for the first-degree murder of a rival.
