York regional police say seven Toronto police officers and one retired officer are facing charges in an organized crime and corruption investigation allegedly involving bribery, conspiracy to commit murder and drug trafficking, among other offences.
Deputy Chief Ryan Hogan alleges Toronto officers accessed personal information and provided it to individuals who then carried out crimes including shootings, extortions and robberies.
He says the investigation began last June after a vehicle rammed a marked York police cruiser parked at the home of a corrections facility officer, in what investigators allege was a conspiracy to commit murder.
Hogan further alleges some of the cops trafficked cocaine and accepted bribes to support illegal cannabis dispensaries.
