Toronto police corruption case
TORONTO — One of the largest-ever police corruption cases in Canada can go ahead after the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a lower-court ruling.
Last fall the Ontario Court of Appeal ordered the case against five Toronto police officers to trial after years of delays. The country's top court did not give any reasons for its decision Monday, as is customary.
Charges were first laid in 2004 but the investigation into the officers' conduct began a decade ago.
Thirty corruption charges were laid against six former members of the drug squad.
One of the officers was facing only one charge and it was dropped.
The other five are accused of conducting searches without warrants, falsifying notes to hide those alleged facts and failing to account for all of the money seized in drug investigations, as well as extortion and assault allegations.
The charges were stayed in January 2008 when it appeared the trial wouldn't be completed for months, a pace the presiding judge described as "glacial."
The Appeal Court granted the Crown's appeal of that decision in the case against five of the officers.
