Uncovered texts reveal alleged gun-for-hire network tied to attempted Project South hit

The alleged hit on a jail official that triggered the police corruption and organized crime case known as Project South was organized by suspects contracting out the job using aliases on an encrypted messaging platform, according to court documents.

Days before the alleged attempted murder, suspects are accused of using the Signal app to share personal information and photos about the target, a senior corrections officer at Toronto South Detention Centre whose identity is protected by a publication ban.
