RCMP investigates tainted Arkansas prison blood in Canada
By DENNIS BUECKERT
The Canadian Press
OTTAWA -- The RCMP has opened an investigation into the importing
of contaminated prison blood from Arkansas during the 1980s, The
Canadian Press has learned.
There is speculation the investigation may be heating up due to
the imminent departure of President Bill Clinton, former governor
of Arkansas, from the White House.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Bill McAlpine said Wednesday two officers based
in Montreal will be assigned exclusively to pursue the Arkansas
prison blood issue.
"We just thought that we, out of Toronto, just couldn't handle
the issue properly, and that therefore additional resources would
be required," he McAlpine said.
Continental Pharma, the now-defunct company that imported the
prison blood, had its headquarters in Montreal, McAlpine noted.
"A lot of the issues arise out of the Montreal area."
The blood task force was set up about three years ago to
investigate possible criminal acts that contributed to
contamination of the Canadian blood supply with HIV and hepatitis
C.
McAlpine said the task force, involving about 12 officers in
Toronto and a couple in Ottawa, is highly active. But he could
not say when its work will be complete or whether charges will be
laid.
"When we make a final submission and report, obviously people
higher than me will make decisions on where we're going from
there, but this thing's not going away."
He declined to give more details.
There's speculation that the investigation may be getting new
co-operation from U.S. authorities looking at a new
administration.
Clinton was governor of Arkansas when the state permitted a
now-defunct company, Health Management Associates, to collect and
sell prison blood, some of which wound up in Canada.
U.S. reports say that Leonard Dunn, president of Health
Management Associates, was a close friend of Clinton's. Witnesses
have said the prison blood was collected under appalling
conditions.
It became an important source of HIV contamination in Canada.
Mike McCarthy of the Canadian Hemophilia Society welcomed the new
investigation.
"The fact that the blood task force has set up shop in Montreal,
which was the epicentre of the trade of prison blood in the
1980s, shows there's something the RCMP feels has gone very, very
wrong.
"We urged them to get to the bottom of this, as many of the
hemophiliacs that were exposed to this are dead or dying."
