Quick Glance: How Italy’s 'Ndrangheta Mafia Allegedly Infiltrated Canadian Banks
- A Canadian faction of the 'Ndrangheta allegedly had close relationships with employees at two major Canadian banks to facilitate their financial activities.
- Angelo Figliomeni, the suspected mob boss, was at the center of the investigation, indicating that bankers were involved in the money laundering process of the group.
- The investigation revealed that the 'Ndrangheta organization generated income through illegal activities such as gambling and loan sharking, which were used for money laundering by bankers like Martino.
- Police seized assets worth millions of dollars and closed around 500 accounts at the implicated banks. Charges against Figliomeni and his co-defendants were dropped due to procedural errors.

reuters.com/world/us/stranded-sea-otter-pups-paired-with-surrogate-moms-california-aquarium-2024-04-12/
Quick Glance: Rescuing Stranded Sea Otter Pups with Surrogate Moms in California Aquarium
- Annually, approximately 10 to 15 stranded sea otter pups are discovered along the California coastline, often a result of storms causing separation between mother and offspring.
- Through a collaboration between the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the pups are connected with surrogate sea otter mothers to impart crucial skills and facilitate their return to the wilderness.
- Program manager Megan Smylie details how the adult surrogate mother will impart behaviors to the pups that humans are incapable of teaching, such as foraging, prey manipulation, and shell opening.
- Having already saved eight stranded pups, the two aquariums aspire for additional organizations to join the initiative in boosting the wild population and safeguarding the ecosystem of the Californian coast.

Trump trial live updates: Two seated jurors removed from Trump's hush money trial after issues raised
nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-hush-money-trial-day-3-live-updates-rcna145936
Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
