The announcement of organized crime charges against several Toronto police officers on Feb. 5 marks one of the largest internal corruption cases in Canadian policing history.
The case stands out for the number of officers allegedly involved and the scope of the alleged criminal activity, including the leaking of information used to facilitate shootings, extortions, and drug trafficking.
