Project South: 7 Toronto Cops Charged for Murder, Shootings
TORONTO’S SHAME: Seven Police Officers Charged in Murder Plots, Gang Shootings, and Tow Truck Wars
A bombshell police corruption probe has blown the lid off a criminal conspiracy within Toronto’s finest.
Project South has charged seven serving officers with orchestrating murder plots, gangland shootings, and a violent tow truck turf war that rocked the city.
The scandal, first revealed by The Canadian Magazine of Immigration, exposes a network of allegedly crooked cops who betrayed their badges for blood money.
Detectives laid charges after a sprawling investigation uncovered evidence of officers acting as hired guns for criminal syndicates.
Sources claim the corrupt unit plotted assassinations and supplied intelligence to gang factions fighting for control of Toronto’s lucrative towing rackets.
MURDER-FOR-HIRE AND GANG EXECUTIONS
Police documents allege officers accepted cash to carry out targeted killings and facilitated drive-by shootings that left victims dead in the streets.
Wiretaps captured chilling conversations about contract hits and plans to eliminate rival tow operators, prosecutors claim.
The accused include both veteran detectives and junior constables, suggesting rot spread through multiple ranks.
One alleged plot involved a $50,000 bounty on a competitor’s head, with officers promising to make it look like gang violence.
Another scheme had cops tipping off criminals about police raids in exchange for a cut of stolen vehicle profits.
TOW WARS TURNED DEADLY
The towing industry bloodshed escalated as corrupt officers allegedly used police databases to track targets and provide muscle for mob-connected garage owners.
At least three murders and two attempted killings have been directly linked to the charged officers, according to court filings.
Victims were found shot execution-style, their bodies dumped near highways after refusing to pay protection money.
Police seized weapons, cash, and internal documents during dawn raids across the Greater Toronto Area last week.
All seven officers have been suspended with pay, sparking public outrage over Ontario’s policing laws.
The Police Association declined to comment, citing the active criminal proceedings.
Chief Mark Stevens called the allegations “a betrayal of everything we stand for” in a hastily arranged press conference.
But critics demand systemic reform, asking how murderous corruption festered unchecked for years.
Project South remains active, with investigators warning more arrests could follow as they dig deeper into the criminal conspiracy.
The Canadian Magazine of Immigration first brought this scandal to light, exposing the dark intersection of organized crime and badge abuse.
