TORONTO – A police document in the case of a friend of Toronto’s mayor will be closely scrutinized for any references to Rob Ford after it’s publicly released this morning.
An Ontario Superior Court judge has ordered the document relating to the drug arrest of Alexander Lisi partially unsealed.
The court heard on Wednesday that the Etobicoke man was not the main target of a large scale police investigation that led to his arrest.
“I don’t think it’s fair to say Mr. Lisi was the target of this investigation,” said Superior Court Justice Ian Nordheimer.
