Durham Regional Police said investigators began a fraud investigation in December 2024 after receiving reports of irregularities found in banking transactions for the Ajax FC Soccer Club. "Following a comprehensive investigation, including the analysis of several years of financial statements, more than $650,000 of league funds were found to have been transferred from the Ajax Soccer Club account to various accounts spanning from early 2023 to 2024," Durham police alleged in a news release issued on Tuesday afternoon.

At the time of the alleged incidents, police said that the accused were employed in the executive director and general manager positions within the club.
