Giuliano Zaccardelli COM CStJ OMRI (born c. 1947)[1] is an Italian-born Canadian retired police officer who served as the 20th commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) from 2000 to 2006. His departure from the RCMP was linked to the force's involvement in the Maher Arar affair. Zaccardelli was later impugned during inquiries into irregularities in the management of the RCMP's pension and insurance fund. He subsequently became a senior official with Interpol in Lyon, France,[2] heading its OASIS Africa program,[3] which aims to help African police forces more effectively combat international crime.[4]
