THAT the facts relied upon to justify my belief that a Search Warrant should be granted together
with the particulars of the offences are as follows:

•

I, Nader KHOSHBOOI (9568) am a police officer employed by the Toronto Police Service. I am
assigned to investigative duties within the Homicide Squad.
The mandate of the Toronto Police Service Homicide Squad is leading and conducting the
investigations of all homicides occurring within the City of Toronto; all criminal acts which
result in serious bodily harm or life threatening injury to a police officer while on duty; assisting
and supporting field personnel with the investigation of suspicious deaths; conducting concurrent
investigations with the Provincial Special Investigations Unit of shootings by the police, that
result in serious injury or death; providing investigative support for the Provincial Coroner in the
investigation of deaths of persons in police custody; providing education to law enforcement
agencies, adjunct agencies and the public in all aspects of death investigations. Furthermore, I
am also mandated to investigate any criminal act.
I have been involved in this investigation since June 17tl!, 2013 I have performed my duties in
relation to this investigation with the lead investigators', Detective Sergeant Gary GIROUX
(2268) and Detective SCHERTZER (3952). Furthermore, the other members on my team are
Detective Constable LAVALLEE (8663) and Detective Constable DAVEY (7317)

The information which follows in this application is information that is known to me from the
following sources:
a. Direct knowledge.
b. Interviews that have been conducted.
6

c. Information passed on to me by other police officers based on
observations they have made and interviews they have conducted.
d. Written reports and notebook entries I have read.
e. Videotaped and/or audio taped interviews that I have reviewed.
f. Enquiries made through Police databases and other external
enquiries.

DATABASES USED FOR POLICE INVESTIGATION
As a police officer, I have access to CPIC, E-COPS, MANDC, FPS, FIR INTELLffiOOK,
and CIPS, which are acronyms for computer databases, used by the Police as the
repositories of reports and information available for Police investigations. The following
acronyms are described as follows:

Canadian Police Information Centre (hereinafter referred to as "CPIC")

•

CPIC is a Canada wide automated index to police agency records, which is for
police use only. The information available includes, but is not limited to records
of Warrants, Prohibitions and Peace Bonds, Suspensions, conditions of Parole and
Release, Charged Persons, Pointer Persons, and Criminal Records. Included are
Boat registrations and by interface, Vehicle and Drivers information for the
Province of Ontario and other participating Provinces within Canada.
Embedded databases within CPIC include:

Criminal Records (convictions and non-convictions I dates -offences - disposition)
The Identification Data Bank is maintained by RCMP Information and
Identification Services personnel on behalf of Canadian police agencies. CPIC
agencies cannot add, modify or delete criminal record data; they may only query
this data bank. The Identification Data Bank contains three categories of criminal
record data which may be queried by CPIC agencies:

CRII
Full Criminal Record containing conviction history, a summary of police-related
information and a list of agencies that have received a copy of the subject's
criminal record. This is queried through the FPS number.
CRS (Criminal Record Synopsis)

•

Contains the status of the record, subject description, subject's history (record,
offence type), and subject's names (aliases). This is queried through the FPS
number .

7

CNI (Criminal Name Index)
Contains an index of names through which CRS records can be searched for
matching names and descriptive data. This is queried through the subject's name
and used when his/her FPS number is not known. To be accessed, the CRS
records must have the status "File Open". CNI is a type of query into the Criminal
Record Synopsis file. A CNI query may result in a hit which contains but is not
limited to: records of a person's physical description and a summary of the types
of criminal offences the person has been involved in, i.e. violence, sex-related,
firearms. It also reveals if a person's DNA profile exists on the National DNA
DataBank.
(If a DNA sample is contained in the National Data Bank the response will
contain the statement "DNA ON KNOWN OFFENDER DATA BANK." This
statement allows investigating agencies to advise the prosecutor that a DNA
sample is already on the National DNA Data Bank and there is no need, upon
conviction for a designated offence, to apply for an order authorizing the taking of
bodily substances.)
Each CNI is assigned a fingerprint number known as an FPS, specific to that
offender.
FPS Number (Fingerprint System Number)
This is the sequential number assigned by National Parole Services (NPS)
Information and Identification Services on receipt of fingerprints (on form C-216)
not previously classified or filed, and relating to a criminal offence.
FIR IMANIX /TPS 208/CIR
Field Information Report /Master Name Index /"Contact Cards"/ Community Inquiry
Report
Historically, when a police officer decided to make a record of an interaction with
someone he may have chosen to record it in handwriting on a TPS 208 card, also
known as a "Contact Card". The information recorded may include, the involved
person's name, DOB, home address, phone number, physical description and
clothing, as well as: location, date and time of contact with police, circumstances
and details of contact with police and police actions, if any.
Other information may include motor vehicle or bicycle information and human
"associate" information.
Later, the information from the card was transposed electronically into the Master
Name Index; a computer based record storage application.
In 2008 the Field Information Report system was implemented to store the same
data but with additional, user friendly, use and search options.
Enterprise Case Occurrence Processing System (hereinafter referred to as "eCOPS")

8

The eCOPS system is designed to provide an electronic record of incidents and
occurrences investigated or responded to by a member of the Toronto Police
Service.
IntelliBook
IntelliBook system is an electronic database of images, descriptor information and
offence information of persons charged with criminal offences by the Toronto
Police Service.
Criminal Information Processing System (hereinafter referred to as "CIPS")
CIPS is the computer database of the Toronto Police Service, used to process and
record all information on all cases prepared for court purpose. The information
recorded includes data such as arrest information, synopsis of the · incident,
witness information, court details and case dispositions. Almost all information
pertaining to a case can be obtained from this system.
Ontario Major Case Management Manual Deimitions
Person of Interest
A person whose background, relationship to the victim or the opportunity to
commit the offence warrants further investigation, but no evidence currently
exists to suggest culpability in the commission of the offence.
Suspect
A person whom investigators believe had culpability in the commission of the
offence based on the evidence.
My investigations and those I oversaw or caused to be conducted, are herein described in this
Information. I believe that all the information contained in this, my information, is accurate and
true.
Overview of the Investigation
(The foiJowing info·rmation is only intended to be a summary of the case)
On Thursday May 16th 2013 an internet article was published on a web site called "Gawker.com"
alleging that there was a video of Mayor Rob FORD smoking crack cocaine. Subsequently
following that a newspaper article from the Toronto Star came out with similar allegations. The
alleged video was in the Dixon Road area.
As these allegations surfaced a wiretap project named Project Traveller headed by the Organized
Crime Enforcement Unit Special Projects Section was under way (March 18th, 2013). Project
Traveller investigated the alleged criminal activities of a group known as the Dixon City Bloods
9

•--

or the Dixon Goonies. Many of the alleged crimes committed were centered in the area of the
apartment complexes on Dixon Road in Toronto.
Detective Sergeant GIROUX was detailed to investigate the matter of the Mayor FORD
allegations and to substantiate any of the claims that have been made .

a) On Thursday May 16tl! 2013 at approximately 8:30PM, an internet article was
published on a web site called "Gawker.com". The author ofthis article was
John COOK. The article was titled "For Sale; A Video of Toronto Mayor Rob
FORD Smoking Crack Cocaine". The article displayed a photograph of
FORD with Anthony SMITH (Homicide 14/2013 victim), Mohammed
KHATTAK (Surviving shooting victim Homicide 14/2013) and Monir
KASIM. Summary of Transcripts

i) The following is a screen shot of the GA WKER webpage:

ii) Unedited version:
b) The article detailed the interaction between COOK and an unidentified
'Tipster", and their meeting within the Dixon Road community. The tipster
indicated that an associate had a video of Rob FORD smoking crack cocaine.
The video was being offered for sale to COOK for the amount of $100,000.
The following specifics of the meetings with the tipster have been
corroborated through Project Traveller interceptions:
c) COOK indicated in his article that he came to Toronto for two days to meet
with the tipster. The initial meeting was planned to be at the bus station in
downtown Toronto, but was subsequently changed to a meeting location at a
donut shop. The tipster attended and advised COOK that his associate who
was in possession of the video was not available and would meet with COOK
the following day.

18

•

d) COOK further indicated in his article that the following day he met with the
tipster at a restaurant near the airport. The tipster drove COOK from the
restaurant to a housing development, where he waited in the vehicle with the
tipster until the video was brought to him by another male. Initially, this male
boarded the vehicle and spoke to the tipster in another language. The male
exited the vehicle without showing COOK the video. The tipster advised
COOK that the battery to the device containing the video had a dead battery.
The second· male returned to the vehicle a short time later and produced a
phone with a touch screen. This male played a segment of a video for COOK,
which allegedly showed Rob FORD smoking crack cocaine from a glass pipe.
The unknown male would not allow COOK to hold the device. The unknown
male told COOK that he had recorded the video within the last six months and
assured COOK that it was cocaine that the mayor was smoking, which he had
seen the mayor smoke before. The unknown male exited the vehicle without
further discussion. The tipster advised COOK that the unknown male wanted
"six figures" for the purchase of the video and the male had previously turned
down an offer of $40,000 by a notable Canadian news outlet.

e) The article continues to describe the brief segment of the video that COOK
observed, but concluded that he did not purchase the video. COOK was using
his article to raise money for the purpose of purchasing the video.
Toronto Star Involvement:

•

f) On Thursday May 16th 2013, the Toronto Star released a an internet article shortly after
the GAWKER.COM article with regards to the allegation of Rob FORD smoking crack
cocaine which was captured on video. The authors of this article were Robyn
DOOLITTLE and Kevin DONOVAN. These authors claim to have viewed the same
video detailed by John COOK, but in its entirety on three occasions. This article again
displayed the same photograph of FORD with the named parties I Project Traveller.
g) The authors provided a detailed account of the contents of the video, which
was brought to them on May 3rd 2013. The male that brought them the video
19

was described as Somali, early to mid-20's, scabs on his arms and involved in
the Toronto drug trade.
h) This article corroborates the initial article published by John COOK
(GAWKER.COM).
i) The authors of this article indicated that they have not purchased the video
and that they have two other sources providing the same information
regarding the mayor's use of crack cocaine.

i) I found an article online dated March 26th, 2013 on the metronews.ca website.
http://metronews.ca/news/toronto/609974/mayor-rob-fords-staff-expressed-concemfor-his-well-being-tried-to-get-him-to-rehab/
The following is an excerpt from that site:
"Then on March 17, St. Patrick's Day, Ford and a small entourage including at least two staff
headed to a private room before midnight in the Bier Markt on the Esplanade.
On the way to the bar a fellow reveler, Jennifer Gordon, said she saw Ford "stumbling down the
street" and she walked up to him.
"He was inebriated and sweaty but in a jovial way," Gordon recalled shortly after the incident.
"Me being me, I said: 'You're the worst mayor ever. "'

•

She said Ford walked over, kissed her on the forehead, and said.~ "I know, but I try. "
What happened next sounded alarm bells for Ford's staff. The following morning, senior Ford
stqffinterviewedjunior staffwho were with Ford at the Bier Markt and asked tough questions
about the mayor's behaviour and whether he had driven drunk. Senior staffwere assured Ford
did not drive .
Inside the Bier Markt, according to restaurant staffand a Ford stqffer, Ford and his small group
went into a private room. They appeared intoxicated and were rambunctious. The restaurant
staffer told Torstar News Service Ford was "incoherent" and "hammered'' Bier Markt owner
Robert Medal said this was untrue and called Ford "an exemplary guest. "
At one point, Ford ventured onto the dance floor. The DJ who worked that night told the Dean
Blundell radio show the mayor was fighting and "carrying on like an idiot. " He was then
escorted out by security. Restaurant staffsay he was asked to leave after "storming the dance
floor. "
A senior staffer with Ford told Tors tar News Service that Ford was escorted out by his own staff
and some restaurant staff. The staffer said the mayor made another leap for the dance floor, then
was told to leave and he walked out. "

b) Outside of the office the Mayor spends time with "Allisandro LISI". Whenever the
Mayor gets leaf tickets or something similar in nature he takes LISI. LISI normally
drives the Mayor to these events.
i) I believe Allisandro LISI is Alexander LISI.

Foret "'Go ahead, take a sip: again."

(2) The following is an excerpt from that article:
"TORONTO- This time Mayor Rob Ford was drinking from a solid blue cup.
"Oh no," joked the mayor. "You can't see if it's ginger ale this time."
For Game 3,fans were saying Ford was drinking beers in the Alumni lounge because of the
colour of the liquid in his clear plastic glass. They were wrong. It was ginger ale. But not this
time. So what's in the blue cup? "It's still not beer, Scrawler, "teased Ford "Go ahead, take a
sip again. "Not beer? Not ginger ale either. "It's diet coke, "said the mayor, laughing. It was
diet coke. With ice. And not spiked either. But after the way the Leafs lost last night, who could
have blamed the mayor if he had wanted to throw a little Canadian Club in there? 1'

It was after 2 a.m. when Mayor Rob Ford and Isaac Ransom, special assistant, communications,
got offthe 34C bus at Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue and realized they hadforgotten to get a
transfer.
"We had missed the last subway to get back to Mr. Ford's station at Royal York, so we had to
take the bus, "Mr. Ransom said. "By time we got to Yonge and Eglinton and had to transfer we
realized, it was late, we hadn't grabbed transfers, it was time to call it a night. "
They called a cab, and Mr. Ford went back to his home in Etobicoke after spending over two
hours touring Toronto's public transit, speaking to residents and posing for photos.
On Wednesday at 11:45 p.m., after Mr. Ford's defeat on the transit vote in council, he boarded
the subway at Royal York Station, the closest station to the mayor's house, and rode the BloorDanforth line to Scarborough, transfe"ing onto the SRT and getting offat Scarborough Town
Centre, then turning around. But, returning to Kennedy Station, they found the subway had
closedfor the night. They caught the 34C bus westbound on Eglinton (riding the bus on the
stretch where Mr. Ford wants an underground light rail line) to Eglinton subway station, before
getting in cabs.

•

"He just wanted to hear what the people had to say. We wanted to get an idea of the commute is
like for people who use public transit, "Mr. Ransom said "He was targeting a specific issue. "
Even though the 25 to 18 vote in council could see his dreams ofan underground subway on
Eglinton Avenue disappear, he said Mr. Ford was in a positive mood
"He was focused, and he didn't seem discouraged at all," he said "This is just one more
hurdle."
Mr. Ransom said that along the way the met with lots offriendly riders, many surprised to see
their mayor riding the rocket with them.
"There weren't any negative comments made when I was listening, but then again the subway
can get very loud so I might not have heard it, " he said
Mr. Ford displayed that he was an average guy, who paid his own fare and even left the subway
at one point to use the washroom, Mr. Ransom said
He said they probably took almost 40 pictures with residents. One woman even got offthe train
and then ran back and said, "Ijust have to ask, are you Mayor Ford?"

marihuana41 had smoked in his vehicle. LISI was issued a Provincial Offences Ticket and
released. LISI returned home but not before conducting several manoeuvres to ensure he
was not being followed. The decision to have LISI stopped proved to be beneficial as it
greatly curtailed LISI's aggressive driving habits for the time being.

Media reports on Mayor FORD at the Taste of the Danforth

146)0n August lOth, 2013 several media outlets reported on Mayor FORD's presence at the
Toronto Taste of the Danforth and his actions following that day. I have read these reports
(specifically the Toronto Star article and CBC website) and have learned the. following:
a) Toronto Star Article published on August lOth, 2013 65 • Verbatim:

On August 13th, 2013 I received an email from Detective PATTERSON who is part of the Mobile Surveillance

Mayor Rob Ford appears to slur words at Taste of
the Danforth, videos show
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford appears to slur his words at Taste of the Danforth festival,
on •ideos posted to You Tube.

New videos and photos posted online of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford at the Taste of the Danforth on
Friday night are raising more questions about the mayor's behaviour.
Videos posted to YouTube appear to show the mayor, who is holding a large cup of Tim Hortons
coffee; slurring his words, saying he wants "to go up to the party. "

•

Dressed in a black suit and tie, the mayor, who was not accompanied by any staffon the videos,
poses for photos with residents. On one video he is heard to repeat three times that "I'm not
driving."
One witness, Mala Turay, a 20-year-oldfinance student at George Brown College, said he saw
Ford standing next to his Escalade SUV on Greenwood Ave. a few blocks south ofthe Danforth
between 9:30 and 9:45p.m.
Turay said neighbours were talking to Ford about taxes and political things.
"He was alone, he didn't want to talk about serious stuff. He wanted to talk about football and
soccer and stzifj, " Turay said.
"When I approached, he wasn 't making much sense, " he said "The mayor looked like he was
totally out of it ... He was slurring. It was noticeable. "
He added that Ford appeared to have trouble standing.
"When he would stop to take pictures, he would sway back andforth, " Turay said "He couldn 't
really stand straight. "
The mayor's spokesperson could not be reached for comment. Ford did not return calls from the
Star on Saturday.

•

A source close to Ford's office said Saturday the mayor's appearance at the festival was well
planned But Ford failed to show up at the appointed intersection, where his staffwere going to
give him a quick briefing.

286

•

Later, the aides reached Ford by phone and also saw Twitter reports that he was alone and
talking to people a distance away.
"They had to scramble, some by subway, to get to where he was, " the source said, noting a
stretch ofDanforth was closed for the festival.
Just last week Carley McNeil, Ford's events co-ordinator for the past 18 months, left city hall
suddenly. Sources confirmed that she was fired
McNeil was in charge of co-ordinating events such as Ford's airport visit to welcome pandas
from China and his awarding ofa key to the city to boxing legend George Chuvalo.
McNeil is the latest in an exodus of staffers from the mayor's office that began with former chief
ofstaffMark Tow hey, whom Ford fired in the wake ofrevelations that Star and Gawker reporters
had been shown a video that appears to show Ford smoking crack cocaine.
Gawker then started a fundraising campaign to buy the video, but even though $200, 000 was
raised, Gawker editor John Cook said he could not locate the video or its owner. The money was
eventually donated to charity.

•

A week after the story broke in May, Ford addressed the issue, after refusing to discuss the video.
"I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine, " he told reporters at city hall.
Ford added at the time: "As for a video, I cannot comment on a video that I have never seen or
does not exist. It is most unfortunate, very unfortunate, that my colleagues and the great people of
this city have been exposed to the fact that I have been judged by the media without evidence. "
Questions around the mayor's behaviour have increased in recent months. Former mayoral
candidate Sarah Thomson accused Ford ofgroping her behind at an event in March Thomson
said the mayor behaved inappropriately.
Ford immediately called Thomson's allegations false.
The Star also reported that the mayor had been asked to leave the Garrison Ball in February
after organizers were concerned he was impaired.
Councillor Sarah Doucette said in March that it had been known at City Hall for some time that
Ford might have a drinking problem. At the time, she said councillors had seen him intoxicated at
"festivals, galas and other evening events. "
When reached Saturday, Doucette said she preferred not to comment because of the responses
she received the last time she spoke about the mayor's alleged drinking problem.

•

"The video speaks for itself," she said
The quality of the videos posted to YouTube from Taste of the Dariforth an annual weekend
festival in Greektown, is mixed as the camera moves erratically in some cases.

287

•

At the raucous street festival Saturday afternoon, many attendees gave the mayor's behaviour a
free pass.
"He was rambling and slurring his words? So like 30 per cent ofpeople here?" joked Mike
Dabrowski. "Ifyou're going to do it, you might as well do it at Taste of the Danforth. "
A friend, who did not give his name, interjected: "He's the mayor, so he probably shouldn't be
doing that."
Susan Kovacs, who traveled to Danforth Ave. from Mississauga, said the mayor can do as he
pleases when he 's not at work
"What's the big deal? He's on his own time, right?" she said. "Who cares?"

CBCArticle

147)0n August lOth, 2013 the CBC66 posted on its website an article pertaining to the events that
transpired with Mayor FORD at the Taste of the Danforth. Furthermore, it posted a picture
of Mayor FORD in the early morning of Saturday, August 1Oth, 2013 at approximately 1:00
AM leaving an ESSO gas station after walking from his house to pick up a few snacks. A
portion this article pertaining to the ESSO picture stated " CBC 's Tony Smyth later saw the

mayor at an Etobicoke gas station buying snacks at approximately 1 a.m. Saturday morning
before walking back home. When told that his actions on the Danforth made him "big news"
on Friday night, Ford replied: "I'm big news. I'm a big guy. " "I guess anything happens with
me is big, right?" he added. " The following is the picture of Mayor FORD at the ESSO gas
station from the CBC website:

a) Verbatim:
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford acknowledges having a few beers on Friday night while attending the
Taste o(the Danforth festival. but said he didn't drive home afterward.
"Did I have a couple of beers? Absolutely I had a couple of beers. But you know what, I had a
good time, "Ford said on his Sunday radio show on Newstalk 1OJ 0. "I think things are getting
blown out ofproportion. "
That was a reference to videos and photos that surfaced on YouTube and Twitter on Friday night
that showed the mayor appearing to slur his words.
He talked about wanting to party on the Danforth, where the annual Greekfestival is held.

"Jf I offended anyone, you know what, I apologize, "Ford said on the air.
"I don't believe I did offend anyone, and ifI did, you know what, I had a good time and let my
hair down a bit," said Ford, adding he had his photo taken with hundreds ofpeople.

•

The mayor said he drove himself to the festival area, and "I was not drinking. " But after having a
few beers, Ford said he did not drive home because he was met by members of his staff.
His brother Doug, who is an Etobi'coke councillor, added that he also joined the mayor at Taste
of the Danforth.
"We go down to afestival. We have a couple beers and you have everyone on you," Doug Ford
said, noting they are just "average guys. "
"When I was there, there were people lined up from here to Timbuktu, non-stop, wanting to take
pictures. Everything was good. Everyone was having a good time. "
A man named Harrison phoned into the radio show on Sunday and pointed out that Councillor
Ford has said in a previous interview months ago that his brother doesn't drink. (Doug Ford in
fact said in March he had never seen his brother drink.)
Doug Ford, who doesn't drink, acknowledged he has seen his brother with a couple ofdrinks, but
added: "Rob doesn't sit there in public hammering away on drinks. It just never happened. "
Those comments run counter to an interview Councillor Ford gave back in March on
NewstalkJOJO after the Star reported Garrison Ball organizers asked the mayor to leave the event
because they were concerned he was impaired.

•

Radio host Jerry Agar questioned Doug Ford about whether his brother has an alcohol problem.
Doug Ford went as far as saying he has never seen Rob drink.
"When I'm out at an event, and you can ask any councillor, or anyone, I've never seen Rob drink.
At family functions, .I've never seen Rob drink, " he said in March.

290

•

Agar then asked whether the mayor drinks occasionally.
"I'm not even sure he does, he doesn't drink in front ofme. Maybe I'm not around Rob 24/7, "
Doug Ford said
A source close to Ford's office said on Saturday that the mayor's appearance at the festival was
well-planned But Fordfaz1ed to show up at the appointed intersection, where his staffwere going
to give him a quick briefing.
Later, the aides reached Ford by phone and also saw Twitter reports that he was alone and

August 12tb, 2013 Globe and Mail Article

154)0n August 12th, 2013 I received an email from Detective SCHERTZER advising that the
Globe and Mail has published68 that on March 25th Mayor FORD attended the Toronto West
Detention Center and asked to speak with Bruno BELLISIMO. I have read the Globe and
Mail article and learned the following information:
a) The article was published on August 12th, 2013 at 3:00AM EDT
b) The following is the Globe and Mail article verbatim:
At around 7 p.m. on March 25, about three hours after official visiting hours, Mr. Ford arrived
unannounced at the Toronto West Detention Centre and asked if he could have a tour of the jail,
four sources with knowledge of aspects of the incident said. After the tour request was declined,
the mayor indicated he wanted to meet with Mr. Bellissimo, a source in the correctional system,
·
as well as Mr. Bellissimo's mother, Maria Bellissimo, said in interviews.
That request was also declined and the mayor departed -leaving an unsolved mystery within the
correctional service about why the mayor visited at such an odd hour, why he was indirect about
the purpose of his visit and why he needed to speak with Mr. Bellissimo, a 43-year-old who has
had run-ins with police and has what numerous sources describe as a history ofdrug-related
activity.

•

Since May, when journalists from the Toronto Star and Gawker, a U.S. gossip website, reported
that they had been shown a video ofMr. Ford smoking what appeared to be crack cocaine,
questions have lingered about how well the mayor is acquainted with people accused of
participating in the illegal drug trade.
Mr: Ford has not explained in detail how it came to be that heposedfor an infamous photograph
that shows him mugging with three accused members of the Dixon City Bloods, an alleged drugdealing, gun-running street gang that was the target ofa major police investigation; he has also
not explained what he was doing outside the house where that photograph was taken- a
bungalow in North Etobicoke where a violent home invasion took place in May and which is
occupied by associates from Mr. Ford's youth including siblings Fabio Basso and Elena Basso.
The mayor's after-hours trip to the jail has introduced a new character to the mix- Mr.
Bellissimo, who is one year younger than the mayor and in the words ofMaria Bellissimo, has
known Mr. Ford "since Bruno was small."

•

Mr. Ford's spokespeople declined to answer questions about the visit. Those questions were twice
put to them in writing, and they were also asked about the incident in person on several
occasions. Mr. Ford was approached by a Globe reporter and asked why he tried to visit Mr.
Bellissimo and he did not respond

:

,......__.

Spokespeople for the provincial government and the correctional service declined to comment
and a freedom of information request for records about the incident was denied in full under
privacy provisions of the act.
When Mr. Bellissimo was approached by The Globe he repeatedly said "leave, buddy" and
accused the reporters of harassing him. His mother spoke briefly with two Globe reporters, and
explained that she heard about the mayor's trip to the jail through someone she didn 't name. She
said the mayor was a long-time friend of the Bellissimo family and that her son and Mr. Ford had
been friends since they were about seven. They used to swim together, she said.
At the time ofMayor Ford's trip to the jail, Mr. Bellissimo was awaiting trial on charges that he
had assaulted his parents and uttered a threat, court records show. He was convicted in early
May, given credit for the more than 60 days he spent in the detention centre and sentenced to two
years' probation, the records show.
Five current andformer neighbours who asked not to be identified by name described Mr.
Bellissimo's conduct on the street as disruptive. All ofthem described incidents where Mr.
Bellissimo had been verbally abusive, sometimes screaming obscenities at his parents after they
locked him out of the house. One neighbour said she had seen police at the house before the
assault incident.
Three of those sets of neighbours said they have seen Mr. Ford at the Bellissimo residence, often
speaking with Mr. Bellissimo's parents.
Mr. Bellissimo attended Don Bosco Secondary School in the mid 1980s, and was separated by
one grade from Fabio Basso, the 45-year-old occupant of the bungalow where Mr. Ford was

photographed with the three alleged members of the Dixon City Bloods.

Both men have been identified as long-time friends ofMr. Ford dating back to their teenage
years, but it is unknown to The Globe whether Mr. Bellissimo and Mr. Basso are acquaintances.
When Globe reporters approached the Basso home to ask questions for this story, they were
urged to leave by Elena Basso, Fabio Basso's older sister.

BELLISSIMO. In part of the report it stated that "His consumption and addiction of
crack cocaine fuels their already tumultuous relationship. The accused's inability to

his parents not to attend their address. In order to protect the victim, it is essential that
the accused be kept in custody pending a suitable surety. A Detention Order is sought"
d) In relation to these charges BELLISSIMO was held in custody. On May 5th, 2013 he

spreadsheet containing dates, times, locations and speed information uploaded from the
tracking device to the UniVue server whenever motion is detected from the tracking
device. The location information is listed in the latitude and longitude values.

"(Lisi) knows he is the subject of an investigation, " said Domenic Basile, Lisi 's lawyer. Basile
said Lisi would not answer any questions from the Star about the investigation ·or his association
with Ford. "It is none ofyour business," Basile said
Lisi 's criminal record includes convictions for threatening death to one woman, and assault and
threatening bodily harm to a second woman. He entered into a peace bond with a third woman
who accused him ofassault and threatening death. He also has been charged three times with
drug possession. Only one of those charges led to a conviction, for which he was given an
absolute discharge.

Lisi has told three associates interviewed by the Star that he is a supplier ofdrugs to Ford. The
Star has been unable to verify Lisi 's claims, and Ford has not responded to questions about this
sent by the Star on Monday,
An ongoing Star investigation of the Ford video and matters surrounding it reveals that in the
days after news of the video broke, Lisi and Ford's "logistics director," David Price, were on a
mission to obtain the video, which Ford was publicly saying did not exist. Two Star reporters who
viewed the video have described an obviously impaired Mayor Ford smoking what appears to be
crack cocaine and making homophobic and racist remarks in response to goading questions from
a man not seen in the video.
In one attempt to retrieve the video, soon after news of its existence broke on May 16, Lisi paid
visits to the Etobicoke house where a group of men from the Dixon Rd. community involved in the
crack cocaine trade were known to hang out. The bungalow is home to Fabio and Elena Basso,
both friends of Ford.
"Where are the guys who made the video, Fab, "Lisi said, according to a witness who was
present. "You know where they are. "
Fabio Basso, a quiet man, was nervous. "They're gone. Out of town. Gone to Windsor," said
Basso. The Star does not know what Lisi did with that information.
A day later, just before midnight, Fabio, his girlfriend, and Fabio's mother were assaulted by an
unknown attacker brandishing an expandable baton who broke into their home. No charges have
been laid in the attack
Around the same time that Lisi was asking about the video, Ford's "logistics director" and
former football coach David Price, was pursuing leads in the.Dixon Rd. community of highrises
where the Star reporters viewed the video. Price was making phone calls, seeking the
whereabouts of the video.
Ford's public position on the video was summed up in a quote he gave at a press conference one
week after the story broke. "1 cannot comment on a video that 1 have never seen or does not
exist, "Ford told reporters.
However, sources have told the Star that at a meeting the morning news ofthe video broke, Ford
cited "our contacts" and told close confidants not to worry because he knew where the video
was, and provided two apartment addresses in the Dixon Rd. complex. Later that day, Price
sought out Ford chief of staffMark Towhey, and raised the "hypothetical" question: What if he
knew where the video was, what would be done? At one point, according to an account of the
conversation, the straitlaced Tow hey was heard to remark, "We're not getting the l---ing thing!"
Tow hey reported his concerns to police and was interviewed by detectives that weekend.

•

Neither Lisi, Ford, nor Price have responded to numerous requests for interviews. Lisi's lawyer,
Basile, who confirmed his client is under investigation, warned a Star reporter to stop
"harassing" his client with interview requests.
The Star has determined that police have been seeking information about the embarrassing video
and are probing other activities ofthe mayor. Toronto police spokesperson Mark Pugash has
steadfastly refused to answer questions about the Star's findings.

321

Detectives involved in the case, including officers from the homicide squad, have interviewed or
attempted to interview several Ford staffers and at least two of the men arrested in the Project
Traveller guns-and-drugs raids carried out in June. Police have also interviewed people i-nVolved
in a boozy St. Patrick's Day 2012 incident involving Ford at the Bier Markt pub.
While a great deal ofmedia attention has been focused on the video itself, the Star's ongoing
investigation shows that the video is just part of a puzzle that involves a great deal of unusual
behaviour by the mayor ofCanada's largest city.
The video has also put a spotlight on a number ofpeople close to the mayor.
Lisi, the Range Rover-driving man who has claimed to be Ford's drug dealer, lives in his
parents' basement apartment, just east of the Basso family. Lisi and Ford are close: Lisi was
Ford's driver the day the mayor showed up stumbling and incoherent at the Garrison Ball,
according to aformer Ford staffer. Lisi and Ford often attend Toronto Maple Leaf hockey games
together, most recently the first playoffgame at the Air Canada Centre on Wednesday, May 8,
shortly before news of the crack video broke. A Toronto Sun journalist photographed the mayor
and Lisi in an elevator that night returning from the Director's Lounge.

•

Lisi's court records show multiple charges and convictions. In June of this year, an Ontario court
judge convicted Lisi of uttering a death threat against a woman in 2011. Lisi received a
suspended sentence, two years 'probation, a five-year weapons ban and an order to continue to
attend an anger management program. (Lisi is appealing the conviction.) Additional 2011
charges of assault and harassment for "repeatedly" following the woman and causing her to
"reasonably, in all the circumstances, fear for her safety" had been dismissed three months
earlier.
In 2008, he was charged with assault, uttering death threats and harassment for watching a
different woman's home. While those charges were withdrawn in 2009, a peace bond was issued
ordering Lisi to have no contact with the woman. And in 2002, he was convicted on charges of
threatening bodily harm, assault and criminal harassment for "repeatedly" following a third
woman, as well as failing to comply with court orders. He served a 90-day sentence on weekends
plus three years 'probation and was ordered to have no contact with the woman or her family.
The Star has obtained records of three past drug charges. In 2002, Lisi was charged with two
counts ofpossession ofmarijuana under 30 grams. He was found guilty of one charge and
granted an absolute discharge; the second was withdrawn.
In 2007, he faced charges ofpossessing more than 30 grams ofmarijuana, an offence more likely
to result in jail time. That charge was stayed In 2009, he was again charged with possession of
more than 30 grams of marijuana. That charge was withdrawn.
Lisi is one ofa cast of characters with whom Ford has surrounded himself. Like Lisi, two others
we are about to tell you about live with their parents, within a kilometre or two ofFord's home in
Etobicoke.
Toronto police will not say whether they have spoken or attempted to speak to these men.
One ofthe men, Bruno Bellissimo, 43, who has known Ford since high school days, is a crack
addict who is currently in a substance abuse treatment program. In one ofmany attempts to

322

•

~

interview Bellissimo over the past month, the Etobicoke man unleashed a string ofprofanities,
threatening the reporter's job andfamily.
On March 2, Bellissimo, who lives in his parents' basement, assaulted his parents. He was
charged with two counts ofassaulting his mother, one count ofassaulting his father, and one
count of threatening his mother with death

He was kept in the Toronto West Detention Centre awaiting trial. Bellissimo has toldfriends the
Star has interviewed that Ford tried to visit him at the detention centre in March, including one
nocturnal visit long after visiting hours. The Globe and Mail reported Monday that Ford tried to
visit Bellissimo on March 26, but was not allowed in.
It is not clear wey Ford was trying to visit a known crack addict. According to two ofBellissimo's
friends, Bellissimo had boasted in the past that Ford had given him a debit card with instructions
to withdraw money, and told Bellissimo he could use $500 for himselffrom time to time. Ford did
not respond to written questions about this.

•

Bellissimo was convicted in May ofassaulting his parents and threatening his mother. A second
charge of assault against his mother was withdrawn by the crown attorney. Bellissimo received a
suspended sentence with credit for time served awaiting trial, and was put on probation for two
years, according to court records. He was also told to attend counselling for his drug addiction.
He was released from jail on May 7.
Bellissimo 's return to the commwiity was short-lived. Two weeks ago, neighbours saw police at
his home, and shortly after that Bellissimo was admitted to a substance-abuse program for
treatment.
In one interview with the Star, Bellissimo said, "Buddy, I am going to talk to the Crown and
police and get you arrested. "
Another person who has been close to Ford is Peter Kordas, once a TTC driver who now drives a
bus for York University and lives in his parents' home one street over from Bellissimo. Kordas,
on the many occasions the Star has tried to interview him, has responded with a stream of
profanity that rivals Bellissimo 's outbursts.
Kordas has told his friends he has been an occasional driver for the mayor in the past when he
wants to go out at night. "I am a persona/friend ofRob Ford's," Kordas told the Star a.month
ago.

•

The official record at the TTC shows Kordas resigned, but that came after the TTC began a
process to dismiss him in 2003 for making a proposition to a young female under the age of 18.
TTC records say Kordas spoke to a young woman on his bus and told her she could make money
tending bar, in what the woman described in her complaint as a "shady" part of Toronto. The
allegations against Kordas state that the girl felt Kordas was propositioning her. She wrote down
the bus number, time and location when she exited the bus. Kordas saw her do this and allegedly
altered his paperwork to place his bus at a different location at the time of the incident, the TTC
alleged in a job action against Kordas .

323

•

'',~

Ultimately, Kordas dropped his fight against the allegations and signed an arbitration document
saying he resigned. Friday, Kordas warned the Star about printing any information about his
TTC records.

"Ifyou do that, I am going to go on CFRB and tell (radio host) John Tory everything. "
Kordas has not been seen with Ford recently. According to a former Ford staffer, Kordas was
present on St. Patrick's Day 2012 at a raucus pre-party in the mayor's office at Toronto City
Hal/leading up to a boozy night at the Bier Markt on the Esplanade. Ford was seen to be
"incoherent" and "hammered" in a private room at the Bier Markt, according to a restaurant
staffer, and was eventually asked to leave.
"I'm not talking about any of that stuff, " Kordas told the Star in an earlier interview, before
launching into a string of harassing phone calls alternating with threats, boasts that he is close to
the mayor and "you have no idea who you are dealing with, " and ending with a night-long series
ofphone calls that were unintelligible.
Friday, Kordas called the Star to apologize and said, "I have no comment on the events ofSt.
Patrick's Day."

Talk of the crack video has dominated coverage of the mayor since its existence became known
late on the evening of Thursday, May 16.

',"---.

The next day, Friday morning, a throng of media was camped out at Ford's home on Edenbridge
Dr. in Etobicoke.
A video shot by NOW Magazine associate news editor Enzo DiMatteo shows the throng greeting
Ford. But DiMatteo also captured what happened as Ford drove off in his black Cadillac
Escalade. In the video, Ford stops his Escalade just past his house and is briefly greeted by
logistics director Price, who is on foot. Approaching from the east is a black Range Rover, which
neatly swings around andfollows Ford, first to the Tim Hortons and then, along with Price in his
car, north up Scarlett Rd.
The Range Rover was driven by Sandro Lisi. The NOW account (which does not identify Lisi).
describes how, just short ofHighway 401, Lisi and Price left the Ford entourage, destination
unknown. Just west ofthe area where they were last seen are the Dixon Rd apartments and the
home of the Basso family, where the now infamous photo ofFord and three men was shot
sometime in 2012. One man in the photo, Anthony Smith, was later killed by gunfire, while
another was wounded in the same incident. The wounded man and the third man in the photo
with Ford were arrested in the Project Traveller drug and gun raids in June of this year.
The ownership of the Range Rover Lisi drives is unusual. A man who is a former drug client of
Lisi leased the vehicle for Lisi two years ago, in return for a promise of several thousand dollars
in cash Lisi had complained he had bad credit, but really needed a nice SUVfor his work.

•

Lisi provides the cash to cover the monthly payments and the man makes the car lease payments,
according to sources.
Recently, Lisi changed the licence plates on the Range Rover "because of all the Fords---," Lisi
told an associate.

324

•

-

On the morning ofMay 16, when news of the crack video was out, Lisi and Price began a mission
to try to retrieve the video. Price, who coached Ford in football, is a longtime friend of the family.
In an interview with the Globe and Mail when Price was hired, Councillor Doug Ford, asked why
Price was on staff, said: "You can't teach loyalty. "
After Mayor Ford blurted out two possible apartment numbers where people with the video could
be found and Price made his report to Ford's chief ofstaff, the Toronto police got involved
Price, however, kept looking for the video. He approached the Dixon Rd. community with vague
offers of assistance if the video could be handed over to him.
Meanwhile, Lisi was focused on the Basso home, where the photograph was shot and where
Mohamed Siad, one of two men trying to sell the video to the Star and Gawker, was known to
have visited.
The Star's ongoing investigation reveals that the Basso home, up until/ate December 2012, was
being used as a crack house. The Star has talked to people who witnessed drug activity there. The
police, as part of the Project Traveller raids, obtained a search warrant for the home at 15
Windsor Rd. It is not known if the home was searched

•

Lisi paid at least two visits to 15 Windsor in the days after news ofthe video surfaced. One of
them was on Monday, May 20, four days after the first story describing the existence of the crack
video. After Lisi questioned the Bassos, he was seen in the area again the next day, a source told
the Star.
Over the nextfew days, Price also continued his inquiries into the location ofthe video in the
community.
Those inquiries by Price slowed, but did not completely stop, on Friday morning, May 24. That
day, Ford gave his first declarative comment about the existence of the video. Ending seven days
of silence, Ford said:
"I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict ofcrack cocaine. As for a video, I can not
comment on a video that I have never seen, or does not exist. "

August 17th, 2013 Globe and Mail Article RE: Alexander "Sandro" LISI'1
170)0n August 17th, 2013 at 4:30 PM the Globe and Mail published an article highlighting
Mayor FORD and his associates. Specifically, Alexander LISI. I have read the article. The
following is information I have learned:

Note: I have excluded some of the article. The parts I have used from the article are
verbatim.
Some of their questions focused on a man named Alessandro Lisi, long known to staffers
only by the name Sandro, a regular late-night companion of the mayor's who was known to
ferry him to events and, on one occasion, run interference with reporters.
"I have no comment to make on behalfofhim [Mr. Lisi] or his family," said Mr. Lisi's
lawyer Domenic Basile.
"I can't confirm to you that my client is under police investigation, only the police can do
that."
The mayor's office did not reply to requests for comment.
"Sandro" Lisi, 35, has no official role at the mayor's office.

Some Ford staffers became aware ofMr. Lisi in February, when he drove the mayor to the
Garrison Ball in his Range Rover. Also present that night in the Rover was Bruno
Bellissimo, whom the Globe has identified as a childhoodfriend of the mayor.
In the months since the Garrison Ball, Mr. Lisi has been a fixture at Mr. Ford's side during
late-night events, according to one former staffer. Mr. Ford always rejected staffdemands
that he hire a driver, but he allowed Mr. Lisi to drive him around
Mr. Lisi appeared beside the mayor the morning after the Toronto Star and Gawker.com
published allegations about the existence of a video showing Mr. Ford smoking what
appeared to be crack cocaine.
That morning, May 17, two men in sunglasses appeared with the mayor, running
interference with the pack ofreporters crowding around his Edenbridge Drive home.
As reporters tried to get a response from the mayor emerging from his house, and later
when he popped into his neighbourhood Tim Horton's, the two men blocked journalists with
bodies and vehicles.
One of those men was identified as David Price, a longtime friend of the Fordfamily and a
relatively new staffer in the mayor's office.
Some people in the mayor's office weren't sure who the man in the Range Rover was that
day, a source told the Globe. Only later did they learn it was Mr. Lisi.
That same day, Mr. Price made independent inquiries as to the whereabouts of the alleged
video, according to a source.
When he reported back to Chief ofStaff Mark Tow hey that he'd heard an address where the
video could be located and that it may have been involved in a recent Toronto homicide, Mr.
Tow hey asked him to stop his search. Mr. Tow hey, a former military man, then alerted the
police. Both he and Mr. Price were interviewed
Mr. Tow hey was fired days later.

Police had already heard about the alleged video. A source familiar with Project Traveller,
a year-long investigation into drugs and gangs that centred around the Dixon Road highrises a few blocks west of the Lisi residence, told the Globe that police became aware of the
alleged video before it surfaced in published reports.
At the same time one ofhis staffers was soliciting tips about the alleged video, Mr. Ford was
publicly calling claims of its existence "ridiculous. "

•

One week later he said: "I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine"
and "I can't comment on a video that I have never seen or does not exist. "

327

·~

However, Toronto Police questioned former mayoral staffers about attempts by Mr. Price
and Mr. Lisi to retrieve the alleged video, and investigators have asked questions about Mr.
Lisi in those interviews, according to people who were present.
The license plate on the Range Rover driven by Mr. Lisi has since changed. Most days it sits
outside his parents' home in Etobicoke's upscale Golfwood Heights neighbourhood.
Residents here have talked amongst themselves about the mayor's frequent visits to the Lisi
house on Madill St.
One resident, who did not want to be named, said he has witnessed Mr. Ford visit the Lisi
home three or four nights in a row, generally after 10 p.m.
Another source, who said that Mr. Ford is on the street at least once a wee~ added that,
when the mayor first started making.frequent visits to the street, he told neighbours he was
there to see his "friend Sandy".

Detective GIRALDI
183)0n August 20th, 2013 I had a conversation with Detective GIRALDI (6789) in relation to
LISI' s Vehicle Tracking Device Analysis. The following is what I learned:
a) Detective GIRALDI is one of the Mobile Surveillance officers surveilling LISI.
b) Detective GRIALDI has been employed with the Toronto Police Service since June 12th,
1990. He was assigned to the Toronto Drug Squad- Major Project, Cocaine Section from
May 16th, 2005 to November 2010. He performed his duties in a plainclothes and
undercover capacity. He has been involved in numerous drug investigations involving
controlled Substances, including but not limited to Powder and Crack Cocaine, MDMA

grow labs. He has successfully completed the General Investigators coarse level one and
two. He is an experienced surveillance officer having spent a number of years assigned
to the Toronto police Service's Mobile Support Services (MSS) and the ISU surveillance
unit.
c) I spoke with Detective GIRALDI in relation to the Vehicle Tracking Device Analysis
that I have received so far for LISI's Range Rover. He agreed that the records of LISI
travelling back and forth from his home at 5 Madill Street to various locations for a short
period of time are indicative to drug trafficking and the fact that LISI is using his
residence as a location for temporarily storing the controlled substance and the proceeds
of that controlled substance after he has trafficked it.
Error found on General warrant signed on July 31st, 2013
184) On July 31st, 2013 The Honourable Justice David P. COLE provided judicial authorization
for officers to surreptitiously enter a motor vehicle{s) and search, seize, and/or photograph
the contents thereof that is evidence of the offences we are investigating LISI for. On August
20th, 2013 I realised that I made an error of the dates for that warrant to be valid for. The
general warrant was never executed.

b) Through "pings" of LIS I' s cellular phone and the GPS tracker on the known Range
Rover, it was learned that LISI was in the area of 82 Thirty Ninth Street and the known
Range Rover was parked in the lot for NV Autohaus located at 4600 Highway 7 in

investigator contacted the OPP Technical Unit to advise them of the situation, the OPP
Technical Unit was confident that the GPS unit would not be found.
·
d) Through further "pinging" of the phone and analysis of the DNR investigators believed
that LISI may have been heading to the area of the Richview Cleaners. Static surveillance
was set up in this area and a few minutes later LISI arrived in the known GMC Safari

k) Mayor FORD's known Escalade left his residence and investigators followed. It travelled
to the Steak Queen Restaurant on Rexdale Boulevard west of Martin Grove Road. An
investigator entered the restaurant and observed Mayor FORD, LISI and MANDERALO

alcohol and or drug but not to the state of impairment. Mayor FORD appeared
disheveled with a large sweat stain circling his stomach, sweating profusely from his

August 22nd, 2013 - Mayor FORD's concerns
193)0n August 23rd, 2013 I received an email from Detective Constable DAVEY in relation to
concerns from Mayor FORD that he was being followed. I have read the email and learned
a) On August 22nd, 2013 at 3:44PM Detective HARRIS (7016) from the Toronto Police
Intelligence Unit received a call from Sheila PAXTON (a member of Mayor FORD's
staff) indicating that Mayor FORD was being followed by a vehicle and he was very
concerned because the vehicle has been seen following him for about a week and a half.
b) PAXTON advised that Mayor FORD is currently driving to Deco Labels. PAXTON
supplied a licence plate bearin
described
This plate was taken down by Mayor FORD while he was driving.
c) Detective HARRIS called and advised PAXTON that he would take a report of the
incident and she said she would have the Mayor call him shortly.
d) Detective HARRIS waited but did not receive a call from the Mayor and was unable to

misunderstanding and that Mayor FORD just wanted to follow up on the plate provided.
The Mayor was currently at a constituents meeting and that the Chief of staff Earl
PROVOST will call Detective HARRIS back.
h) At 5:13PM PROVOST called and advised Detective HARRIS that the vehicle was not
following the Mayor right now but had been following him for about a week.

off. He further explained that on Tuesday the Mayor gave him the plate. In tum
PROVOST left a note for PAXTON to contact Detective HARRIS.
j) PROVOST advised that Mayor FORD wants to know what is going on and that PROVST
will have the Mayor call Detective HARRIS and maybe they can have a meeting next
·week to discuss this.

k) Detective HARRIS did not receive a call from Mayor FORD that day.
Further dialogue between PROVOST and Detective HARRISS

194)Further to this on August 26th, 2013 I received an email from Detective Sergeant GIROUX
in relation to a discussion Detective HARRIS had with Earl PROVOST on August 23rd,
2013. The following is what I learned:
a) On August 23rd, 2013 at 11:01 AM Detective HARRIS received a call from Earl
PROVOST (Chief of Staff from the Mayor's office) wanting to know if Detective
HARRIS had the vehicle registration information from the car following the Mayor.
PROVOST wanted to know if Detective HARRIS could give him the information.
b) Detective HARRIS explained that it is confidential information and that he could not give
it out.
c) PROVOST stated the Mayor is concerned about his safety. Detective HARRIS asked
how sure they were about the plate because Detective HARRIS was given two variations
on the plate.
d) PROVOST stated a guy is following Mayor FORD, that the Mayor has seen the guy and
furthermore the Mayor has talked to the guy but the guy sped off.

e) Mayor FORD has a description of the guy; Mayor FORD saw the car that was Investigati

ve

f) PROVOST further advised that Mayor FORD is getting angry at PROVOST because he
can't give him what he wants.
g) Detective HARRIS explained he is willing to take a report to get all the details to
generate a report so they can follow up to ensure Mayor FORD's safety and that he
would meet the Mayor anywhere he likes.
h) PROVOST advised that PAXTON misunderstood him that day.
i) PROVOST advised that he would present Detective HARRIS' request to meet with the
Mayor to take a report to Mayor FORD and get back to him.

NOTE: Since August 23ra, 2013 Detective HARRIS has not received a response from
PROVOST or Mayor FORD in relation to this incident
344

•

I believe that the above attempts by PROVOST to obtain registration details for Mayor
FORD clearly indicate that Mayor FORD is utilizing his position and the powers ofthe
Office of the Mayor, to obtain information not available to regular citizens.
I believe that Mayor FORD was trying to get the registration information for the vehicle
that he and LIS! observed on August 18th, 2013. Even though the licence plate Mayor
FORD took down was off by I letter I believe it to be beyond mere coincidence that this
chain of events occurred.

same day at 12:26 PM. This article was in relation to Mayor FORD and his marihuana use. I
have read the article and have learned the following:
The article was written by Don PEAT who is the City Hall Bureau Chief for the Toronto Sun. The follo.wing is
the article verbatim:

Mayor Rob Ford admits he's smoked "a lot" ofmarijuana.
On the heels offederal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Premier Kathleen Wynne's potsmoking confessions, Ford was asked Wednesday for his reaction.

"I don't know why they are all coming out," Ford said. "You've got to ask them."
The mayor of Canada's largest city was then asked if he's ever smoked marijuana.
"Oh yeah," Ford said smiling. "I won't deny that.
"I've smoked a lot of it. "
Ford was then whisked away by his handlers as reporters tried to ask when was the last
time he smoked marijuana.
The mayor's pot-smoking admission comes months after he was accused of appearing in a
video allegedly smoking crack cocaine. In the wake of that scandal, Ford denied he was
addicted to crack or a user of that drug.
Back in 1999, Ford was caught in Florida with a marijuana joint in his pocket.
When the Sun confronted him about that arrest back in 2010, Ford said he no longer uses
marijuana.
"I don't use drugs. I'm not in that scene, "Ford said in August 2010 at the height of the
mayoralty campaign.
Before he admitted to smoking grass, Ford had just wrapped up a speech to the Cambridge
Club where he touted his administration's accomplishments and urged members to support
him in the next election.
"We still have a lot ofwork to do," Ford told the lunchtime crowd. "You're going to have to
make a decision, folks, on Oct. 27, 2014. Do you trust me with your hard-earned tax
dollars? Ifyou do, I'm willing to serve for another four years to make the city an even better
place."

i) Information on Pre-Paid Plans78
A prepaid mobile phone (also commonly referred to as pay-as-you-go, pay-as-you-talk,
pay and go, prepaid wireless, or prepay) is a mobile phone for which credit is purchased
in advance ofservice use. The purchased credit is used to pay for mobile phone services
at the point the service is accessed or consumed. If there is no available credit then
access to the requested service is denied by the mobile phone network. Users are able to
top up their credit at any time using a variety ofpayment mechanisms.
The alternative billing method (and what is commonly referred to as a mobile phone
contract) is the post-paid mobile phone, where a user enters into a long-term (generally
lasting 12, 18 or 24 months) or short term (also commonly referred to as a rolling
contract or a 30-day contract), billing arrangement with a mobile network operator or
carriage service provider (CSP).
"Pay-as-you-go'~ "PAYG'~ and similar terms are also usedfor other non-telephone
services paid for in the same way.

Overview of the prepaid service

•

A prepaid mobile phone has access to most if not all of the services offered by a mobile
phone operator. although the charges for these services may differ from customers with
the same operator who have a postpaid contract.
78

Referenced: http://en. wik:ipedia.orglwiki/Prepaid_mobile_phone

375

•

In addition, a prepaid phone has a balance which can be queried at any time, and also
topped up periodically. Examples ofways in which the balance can be topped up are the
following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•

a credit card or debit card
direct from a bank account using an ATM
in a retail store by purchasing a "top-up" or "refill" card at retail. These cards
are stamped with a unique code (often under a scratch-offpanel) which must be
entered into the phone in order to add the credit onto the balance.
in a retail store using a swipe card where the balance is credited automatically to
the phone after the retailer accepts payment.
from other mobile phones on certain networks which provide international top-up
services, where the initiator ofthe top up is often a migrant worker wanting to
add minutes to the prepaid mobile phone ofa family member back home.
direct from some open-loop prepaid cards featuring a mobile refill service.
through electronic reloading where a specially designed SIM card (Retailer's SIM
card as used to define in the Philippines and India) is used to reload a mobile
phone by entering the mobile number and choosing the amount to be loaded. This
process is widely implemented in the Philippines and India so that any person can
be a prepaid load retailer creating a nationwide availability ofreloading stations,
even in remote areas.

Credit purchased for a prepaid mobile phone may have a time limit, for example 90 days
from the date the last credit was added. In these cases, customers who do not add more
credit before expiration will lose their remaining balance.
There is no compulsion on a prepaid mobile phone user to top up their balance. To
maintain revenues, some operators have devised reward schemes designed to encourage
frequent top ups. For example, an operator may offer some free SMS to use next month if
a user tops up by a certain amount this month.
Unlike postpaid phones where subscribers have to terminate their contracts, it is not easy
for an operator to know when a prepaid subscriber has left the network To free up
resources on the network for new customers, an operator will periodically delete prepaid
SIM cards which have not been used for some time, at which point their service (and its
associated phone number) is discontinued. The rules for when this deletion happens
varies from operator to operator, but may typically occur after 6 months of non-use.
Privacy rights and prepaid mobile phones

•

A concern ofpolice and security agencies worldwide is that prepaid mobile services
allow the user to be anonymous and therefore facilitate criminal, or terrorist activities.
Prepaid phone users can be anonymous for two reasons:

376

•

•
•

the prepaid SIM card can be sold in a shop like any other goods. There is no need
to register them at point ofsale, unlike postpaid phones who have to credit check
the user before allowing them to purchase and enter into a contract.
Because prepaid services can often be topped up using cash and vouchers, there
is no way to trace the payment and hence determine the identity ofa prepaid
phone user from payment records.

A prepaid phone specifically purchased to be used briefly and then replaced is known
colloquially as a burner phone or burner.
It has been suggested that a solution to this problem is to register the users ofprepaid
mobile phones. Such legislation faces heavy opposition from providers and consumers of
prepaid service, as many consumers who desire privacy for legitimate purposes or simply
by personal preference find anonymity to be the primary selling point ofprepaid phones.
According to a 2005 study 9 of24 surveyed OECD countries require prepaid mobile
users to register. These countries are Australia, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan,
Norway, Slovak Republic, South Africa and Switzerland.

•

The freedom and privacy allowed by prepaid cell phones might help circumvent
government oppression and censorship, allowing improved reporting and coordination of
dissidents under oppressive regimes.
While there is no doubt that criminals and terrorists use telecommunication services, to
date there has been no public study that has clearly examined the possible link of nonregistration ofprepaid mobile phones to greater risk ofcriminal or terrorist activities.
However, mandatory registration may be a breach ofa prepaid user privacy, and
currently the question various jurisdictions have decided on or are examining is whether
this privacy breach is an appropriate action versus the threat that anonymous usage of
prepaid services pose.
c) The current number we have for LISI registered to Roger Communications.
Detective GRIALDI

242)1 have spoken with Detective GRIALDI who has worked in the Toronto Police Drug Squad
in relation to Prepaid phones and received the following information:

•

a) In his experience as a Drug Squad officer he has dealt with many drug traffickers who
were in possession of multiple phones. They would utilize these phones for different
purposes. It was common for them to have a "safe phone" which they would utilize to
conduct business associated with drugs or things associated with criminal behaviour.
They would also have another phone which they would use in their regular day to day
non-criminal activities

SUMMARY OF GROUNDS AND PROPOSED WARRANTS
307)Based on the foregoing paragraphs I believe that Alexander LISI is a drug dealer. I believe
that Alexander LISI is a source of marihuana and has been observed meeting people a
number of times in circumstances that would provide opportunities for LISI to deliver or
make drugs available to them (indicative to that of drug trafficking).
308)LISI's background and behaviours are highly consistent with a typical drug dealer insofar as
he has been arrested in relation to large quantities of drugs several times, he repeatedly
engaged in counter surveillance techniques, and he regularly calls and attends the business
place of Jamshid BAHRAMI at Richview Cleaners.
309)LISI's meetings with people who he engages in acts that are indicative to drug trafficking
have become more clandestine in recent weeks.
310)0n August 17th, 2013 Media Outlets reported on LISI, his. Range Rover, his criminal past
and his ties to Mayor FORD. Since then LISI has heightened his counter surveillance
maneuvers.
311)LISI has been observed driving a GMC Safari Van and a Toyota Camry regularly since his
Range Rover has been at and back from the mechanics shop.
312)0n October 15 2013 Alexander LISI was arrested outside of Richview Cleaners. He had
driven his Range Rover to Richview Cleaners. On October 1st, 2013 BAHRAMI had
brokered a marihuana transaction between LISI and the undercover Toronto Drug Squad
officer , Detective Constable FERNANDES.
313)This investigation has come to its conclusion with the arrest of Alexander LISI. This
application seeks to enter, search and seize items from a 2 residential units, 1 detached
garage on the property of a residential unit, 1 commercial unit and 1 motor associated to
Alexander LISI

BAHRAM! and LISI were arrested after BAHRAM! sold the undercover officer half a
pound of marihuana while inside Richview Cleaners. That marihuana was provided to
BAHRAMI by LISI.
The following is a summary of the grounds which have given rise to this application:

GROUNDS TO BELIEVE TIDNGS SEIZED WILL AFFORD EVIDENCE OF THE
OFFENCE AND ASSIST IN THE INVESTIGATION
321)Although LISI is not the registered owner of the Range Rover he is the sole driver of the
Range Rover.
322)The plate of the Range Rover is BSCR 443. The Vehicle Identification Number of the
Range Rover is SALMF13486A216338
447

323)Surveillance Officers have observed LISI conducting counter surveillance maneuvers using
this motor vehicle.
324)Surveillance Officers have observed LISI picking up and delivering items in a manner very
indicative to that of drug trafficking using the Range Rover.
325)LISI has been observed smoking marihuana in that motor vehicle by FICKEL.

by the undercover officer to purchase the half pound of marihuana that LISI had delivered to
Richview Cleaners earlier that day.
330)

I believe that searching the Range Rover will provide further evidence of these offences.

GROUNDS TO BELIEVE THAT THINGS TO BE SEARCHED FOR WILL BE IN THE
PLACE TO BE SEARCHED AND THE METHOD OF SEARCHING
331) On October 1st, 2013 LISI was arrested outside of Richview Cleaners. He had driven his
R.a:nge Rover to the Cleaners where it remains at the time.
332) At the time of writing officer officers have secured the Range Rover pending judicial
IP - innocent party
authorization. The Range Rover has been towed to
(a secure
· Toronto Police facility) where it will be held for judicial authorization. If a judicial
authorization is granted it will be searched at this location

Cannabis (Marihuana) ~ Marihuana is a controlled substance under schedule II of the
Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. It cannot be possessed or sold without

marihuana to Richview Cleaners. This marihuana was sold to the undercover officer (DC.
FERNANDES) by BAHRAM! while inside Richview Cleaners. Furthermore, when LISI
was arrested a quantity of marihuana was found inside a soda can that he was holding.

Thirty Ninth Street and Richview Cleaners (250 Wincott Drive) would be proceeds of
drug sales and indicative of drug trafficking. Furthermore, Bank Documents will provide
detailed information as to the financial transactions associated to that account that would
be indicative to drug trafficking. On October 1st, 2013 Detective Constable
FERNANDES paid $1000 dollars to BAHRAM! for a half pound of marihuana that LISI
had provided to BAHRAM! earlier that day. BAHRAM! put a $900 of that money into an

The cellular phone contents, associated to LISI will provide a link between him and
his drug trafficking operation. On October I st, 2013 utilized his cellular phone to

speak to BAHRAMI while the drug transaction was taking place. LISI has
consistently used his cellular phone to while he is conducting actions indicative to
drug trafficking. During this investigation LISI has used his cellular phone and text
messaged individuals while conducting actions indicative to drug trafficking.
Telecommunication companies do not store the content of text messages. The only
way to gain access to any text messages sent would be to perform a physical analysis
of the actual device sending or receiving the text. The data contained within the
cellular telephone records including contact information, times the contacts are taking
place, locations of the phones when being used and text message data are all
necessary for a through and accurate investigation. When LISI was arrested on
October 1st, 2013 a cellular phone was found in his possession. The phone was seized
incident to arrest and will be submitted to the technological unit for further analysis
pending judicial authorization.

5 Madill Street is LISI's primary residence. His parents also reside at that address.

335) Richview Cleaners is owned by Jamshid BAHRAMI. A Confidential Source advises that
BAHRAMI traffics marihuana from Richview Cleaners and further that LISI delivers
marihuana to BAHRAM! on a regular basis.
336) On several occasions LISI has been observed leaving his residence and going to
Richview Cleaners and acting in a manner indicative to drug trafficking.
337) On occasions LISI has been observed attending Richview Cleaners, acting in a manner
indicative to drug trafficking, then returning to his residence.

340) The Range Rover that LISI has used to conduct drug trafficking has been seen parked at
his residence (5 Madill Street). On October 1st, 2013 LISI was arrested outside of Richview
Cleaners and he had driven to that location using the Range Rover.
341) I have spoken with Detective GIRALDI who is well experienced in relation to drug
matters having worked in the Toronto Police Drug Squad and he agrees that the records from
the Range Rover Vehicle Tracking Device Analysis of LISI travelling back and forth from
his home at 5 Madill Street to various locations for a short period of time are indicative to
drug trafficking.
342) I believe that LISI uses his residence in conjunction with 82 Thirty Ninth Street to store
marihuana, items pertaining to the trafficking of marihuana and the proceeds of the sales of
marihuana
343) I believe that a search of this residence will provide investigators with further evidence in
relation to LISI and his drug trafficking network.
344) Additionally, on the roof of 5 Madill Street above the garage is a CCTV Security
Camera. According to the public view camera LISI has been observed on several occasions
conducting actions indicative to drug trafficking. I believe that that CCTV Security camera(s)
is active and that the storage device(s) for that camera is located inside the residence. This
stored CCTV Security Camera(s) footage will give investigators further information as to
motor vehicles, persons, timelines and/or actions indicative to drug trafficking that may have
been captured on the CCTV Security storage device(s)

345) I am requesting a 24 hour window in which to execute this warrant. Toronto Police
Service Mobile Surveillance Officers have observed people in and out of 5 Madill Street
throughout this investigation. LISI' s parents reside at this residence.
346) This entry will be planned at a time that will ensure the safety of not only the occupants
of 5 Madill Street, but also the other occupants of the neighbourhood and officers. This entry
could include a night time entry on this address, if granted. The reasons for this are as
follows:
a) It is believed that Alexander LISI has large quantities of marihuana at his residence
including items pertaining to drug trafficking
b) Currently LISI' s parents are inside the residence at 5 Madill Street. There are uniformed
officers inside with them to ensure that no evidence is destroyed while judicial
authorization is being sought.
c) LISI will be given a reasonable opportunity to make use of the phone when he is brought
to the police station. It is my fear that he may call someone to go and destroy any
evidence of drug trafficking within 5 Madill Street.
d) Furthermore, the media attention on LISI has been extensive because of his relationship
to Mayor FORD and Mayor FORD's crack allegations. I have been advised that media is
already at 5 Madill Street and Richview Cleaners.

Cleaners and has built trust with Jamshid BAHRAM!. Because of this trust, BAHRAM!
has told the undercover officer that LISI is one of his suppliers, that LISI is Mayor FORD's
bodyguard and most recently that LISI is "laying low" for a month due to all the media
coverage surrounding him.
353) Furthei"IIlore, BAHRAM! had given the UC a small quantity of marihuana from ajar while

LISI drives a Range Rover. He uses this Ranger Rover to conduct Drug Trafficking.

359) On August 17th, 2013 the media reported on LISI and his connection to Mayor FORD. In
the reports they made mention of LIS I' s Range Rover and his residence on Madill.
360) On August 17th, 2013 it was determined by Surveillance officers (in conjunction with the
tracking device) that the Range Rover was parked in the detached garage located on the
property of 82 Thirty Ninth Street.

·~

361) Since August 17th, 2013 LISI has been following and observed going inside the detached
garage located on the property of 82 Thirty Ninth Street.
362) Analysis of the tracking device on LISI's Range Rover has shown that LISI has attended
that address regularly since August 17th, 2013.
363) On September 7th, 2013 a General Warrant was executed by officer who entered the
detached garage located on the property of 82 Thirty Ninth Street shortly after LISI drove out
of the garage. When officers entered the garage they smelled a strong odor of marihuana.
364) According to the latest tracking analysis in relation to LISI's Range Rover he attended 82
Thirty Ninth Street on Saturday September 28th, 2013 at 11:51 PM and remained there until
Sunday, September 29th, 2013 at 2:46PM.
365) 82 Thirty Ninth Street is owned by LISI's parents. The property (residence and garage) is
currently unoccupied and under renovations.
366) This address was first discovered by investigators on July 15th, 2013 after Surveillance
officers· followed LIS I there.
367) Since June 15th, 2013 LISI has been regularly surveilled by Toronto Police officers and
has only been surveilled to 82 thirty Ninth Street only 3 times and one of those times was

457

with the use of the tracking device installed on the Range Rover. Since August 17th, 2013
LISI has attended 82 Thirty Ninth Street on a regular basis.
368) LISI has been obs~rved entering the detached garage and (through pinging his cellular
phones location) has been in the area of 82 Thirty Ninth Street on a regular basis even while
the Range Rover was in the Mechanics shop.
369) LISI has been observed coming and going from the 82 Thirty Ninth Street property in a
manner indicative to drug trafficking.
370) On August 26th, 2013 LISI was observed walking up the driveway of 82 Thirty Ninth
Street while MANDERALO looked at the cars that were parked on the street near the
residence. I believe this to be a counter surveillance method utilized by LISI while he
conducted actions associated to drug trafficking while at 82 Thirty .Ninth Street.
371) Throughout this investigation we have seen that LISI has had easy access to his father's
GMC Safari Van and Toyota Camry. I belieye that LISI also has full access to the detached
garage at 82 Thirty Ninth Street, Toronto be9ause it is owned by his parents.
372) I believe that LISI has easy access to the garage and that he may store items within the
garage associated to drug trafficking.
373) I believe that LISI regularly attends that location to avoid media scrutiny and Police
investigations. It is a location where the media has not reported on as of yet and a place
where LIS~ feels comfortable in continuing his drug trafficking.
374) I believe that LISI uses the detached garage on the property located at 82 Thirty Ninth
Street, the residence of 82 Thirty Ninth Street in conjunction with 5 Madill Street to store
marihuana, items pertaining to the trafficking of marihuana and the proceeds of the sales of
marihuana.
375) Based on the foregoing I believe that inside the detached garage that is located on the
property of 82 Thirty Ninth Street officers will find evidence of drug trafficking.

GROUNDS TO BELIEVE THAT THE ITEMS ARE AT THE LOCATION TO BE
SEARCHED:
376) LISI has been conducting actions indicative to drug trafficking in relation to the detached
garage located on the property of 82 Thirty Ninth Street. The tracking device analysis on
LISI' s Range Rover as shown that he was at 82 thirty Ninth Street 2 days before his arrest.

TIME REQUEST AND METHOD OF ENTRY INTO THE DETACHED GARAGE
LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY OF 82 THIRTY NINTH STREET

377) The detached garage located on the property of 82 thirty Ninth Street is currently under
Police Guard pending judicial authorization. If the Judicial Authorization is granted, officers
will enter the garage and conduct a thorough search of the garage. I anticipate that because
LISI conducts counter surveillance manoeuvres he would take the necessary steps to hide
drugs and items associated to drug trafficking in a manner that would make it difficult for
someone to find. On October 15 2013 when LISI was arrested officers found a quantity of
marihuana hidden in a soda can that he was holding. This shows his propensity to conceal
marihuana.

391) On August 26th, 2013 LISI was observed walking up the driveway of 82 Thirty Ninth
Street while MANDERALO looked at the cars that were parked on the street near the
residence. I believe this to be a counter surveillance method utilized by LISI while he
conducted actions associated to drug trafficking while at 82 Thirty Ninth Street.

r
392) Throughout this investigation we have seen that LISI has had easy access to his father's
GMC Safari Van and Toyota Camry. I believe that LISI also has full access to the residence
of 82 Thirty Ninth Street, Toronto because it is owned by his parents.
393) Therefore, I believe that the opportunity does exist for LISI to use the unoccupied
residence of 82 Thirty Ninth Street to hide drugs and drug related items in conjunction with
the detached garage on that property. I believe that LISI uses the residence of 82 Thirty Ninth
Street, the detached garage located on the property of 82 Thirty Ninth Street in co~ unction
with 5 Madill Street to store marihuana, items pertaining to the trafficking of marihuana and
the proceeds of the sales of marihuana. The fact that this residence is unoccupied and as of
yet has not yet been identified by the media as being associated to LISI makes this an ideal
location to conduct drug trafficking. Therefore, I will be requesting that judicial authorization
be granted for officers to enter and search the unoccupied residence of 82 Thirty Ninth Street.
394) Based on the foregoing I believe that inside the residence of 82 Thirty Ninth Street
officers will find evidence of drug trafficking.
GROUNDS TO BELIEVE THAT THE ITEMS ARE AT THE LOCATION TO BE
SEARCHED:
395) LISI has been conducting actions indicative to drug trafficking in relation to the detached
396) The property of 82 Thirty Ninth Street is currently under Police Guard pending judicial
authorization. If the Judicial Authorization is granted, officers will enter the residence and
conduct a thorough search of the residence. I anticipate that because LISI conducts counter
surveillance manoeuvres he would take the necessary steps to hide drugs and items
associated to drug trafficking in a manner that would make it difficult for someone to fmd.
On October 15 2013 when LISI was arrested officers found a quantity of marihuana hidden
in a soda can that he was holding. This shows his propensity to conceal marihuana.

TIME REQUEST AND METHOD OF ENTRY INTO 82 THIRTY NINTH STREET
397) The residence of 82 thirty Ninth Street is currently under Police Guard pending judicial
authorization. If the Judicial Authorization is granted, officers will enter the residence and
conduct a thorough search of the residence. I am unaware of the layout inside the residence.
However, I anticipate that because LISI conducts counter surveillance manoeuvres he would
take the necessary steps to hide drugs and items associated to drug trafficking in a manner
that would make it difficult for someone to find. Furthermore, because the residence is
currently under renovations I anticipate that there the inside of the residence will be cluttered.
398)

That is why I am requesting a 24 hour period to execute the search warrant if granted.

CONCLUSION
399) Based on the foregoing, I believe that this investigation has demonstra~ed the dynamic,
fast-paced nature of the criminal activities and the transient nature of drugs and money items
that I believe LISI and the other named persons in this Information are involved in. I believe
that valuable evidence can be disposed of or sold at a moment's notice, and that, depending
on the timing or the situation, evidence may be contained within either the residences or the
vehicles of the people described in this Information.
400) LISI' s meetings with people who he engages in acts that are indicative to drug trafficking
have become more clandestine in recent weeks.

·~

401) I believe that while the specific .evidence believed to be contained within the locations
and/or vehicles of the persons described above may vary slightly, the evidence will generally
fall into the categories of controlled substances (specifically marihuana). In these cases, the
mere existence of this evidence will provide evidence of the named offences, whether it be
the production of marihuana, the trafficking of marihuana, or the possession of marihuana. It

464

is for this reason that the evidence to be searched for contained in the terms and conditions
outlined in each warrant appear similar in many cases, but are still relevant to each specific
place or vehicle.

402) I AM ASKING THAT THIS SEARCH WARRANT BE GRANTED TO
FACILITATE THE SEARCH AND SEIZURE OF EVIDENCE THAT WOULD
ASSIST IN THIS INVESTIGATION AND SUBSEQUENT PROSECUTION OF THE
INDIVIDUAL(S) RESPONSffiLE IN THIS MATTER.
403) Furthermore I am requesting that this Information, as well as a copy of the requested
Warrants and order to be sealed and having been placed in a sealed packet, shall be delivered
to and kept in the custody of the Local Registrar of the Ontario Court of Justice in the
Toronto Region, or his Agent, at The Old City Hall Court House, 60 Queen Street West,
Toronto, Ontario.
a) I ani respectfully requesting that the order prohibit access on the grounds that the
ends of justice would be subverted by the disclosure for the reason that it would
compromise the nature and extent of this investigation.

.'-

b) The interests of innocent persons, witnesses and the confidential source will be
prejudiced. The cooperation of innocent persons, witnesses and Confidential
Source will likely aid this investigation and may contribute to its successful
conclusion. If the culprits mentioned in this Information were to learn of the
assistance provided, it is reasonable to believe that those innocent persons will be
prejudiced.

404) THAT this Information is made in support of Search W an:ants in respect of the commission
of the offences described in this my Information and for no improper motive or purpose.
405) I believe this Information is made in support of these Warrants in respect of the commission
of the offences described in this my Information, and for no improper motive or purpose.
