Crime

The Ontario bureaucrat fired after the alleged theft of $11 million in pandemic aid was a “ringleader,” whose “co-conspirators” are now being investigated for a wider fraud, court has heard.

Crown lawyer Christopher Wayland said Thursday that further allegations against Sanjay Madan are being pursued and predicted others would soon be hauled into court.

In documents filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the province alleges “some or all of” Madan, his spouse Shalini, their adult sons Chinmaya and Ujjawal, and associate Vidhan Singh perpetrated “a massive fraud” to divert COVID-19 funds to numerous bank accounts at branches of TD, Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada, Tangerine, and India’s ICICI Bank.

It really pays to be a white collar criminal in Canada.

Two brothers, 21 and 22, are charged over murder of cop Ella French, 29, who was shot dead at traffic stop: Chicago police turn their back on Mayor Lori Lightfoot as officer’s father YELLS at her and blames her for shooting

Two brothers have been charged over the shooting murder of Chicago police officer Ella French as the city’s police clash with its mayor over the horrific killing.

Emonte Morgan, 21, is charged with first-degree murder of a peace officer, attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

His brother, Eric Morgan, 22, is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and obstruction of justice.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) claimed guns and “the violence they bring” are responsible for the death of Chicago police officer Ella French.

Twenty-nine-year-old French, a three-and-a-half-year veteran of the force, died over the weekend after she was shot during a traffic stop. French is the first officer to be shot and killed in the line of duty since Lightfoot took office in 2019, and the first female officer to be killed since 1988.

A 29-year-old female Chicago police officer was killed and her partner was seriously wounded during an armed confrontation with three suspects on the city’s South Side.

Ella French has just returned from maternity leave, and leaves behind a two-month-old daughter.

The two officers were fired upon after a vehicle carrying two men and a woman had been pulled over at 9pm, said Eric Carter, Chicago police first deputy superintendent, at a news conference early Sunday.

More – Two Chicago police officers among 44 people shot in weekend violence that left one officer dead.

At least forty-five people have been shot, four fatally, in attacks across Chicago since Friday night.

One man was killed and another wounded in a shooting early Sunday in the Near West Side neighborhood.

The two men, 30 and 36, were outside just before 3 a.m. in the 2700 block of West Jackson Boulevard when they heard several shots and felt pain, Chicago police said. Both men brought themselves to Mount Sinai Hospital, according to police.

I am a criminal. Nice to meet you. I am 21 years old, right at the peak of my criminal power. I live in a big city. I have been to juvenile placement, county jail, and state prison. Let me tell you what I think about today’s criminal-justice system.

Before we go any further, please disabuse yourself of the notion that I am dumb. I watch, listen, and learn from what happens around me. In some ways, I’m probably smarter than you. I bought three kilograms of cocaine for $93,000 last week. Quick: tell me how many quarter pounds, ounces, and eight-balls I have, and what should I sell each amount for if I need to make $250,000. I did that in my head while you were reaching for a calculator.

Like most major cities around the country, Philly saw a sharp rise in shootings and murders last year which hasn’t abated. But unlike most of those cities, Philly’s crime wave is on track to surpass even the very worst years of the early 1990s. In other words, whatever it is that is happening with regard to violent crime nationwide is happening even more so in Philly.

Let’s get the myths out of the way: COVID wasn’t the main driver behind the recent crime surge

I didn’t meet Davell Gardner Jr. Yet his photo — and the bubbly personality it captures — will forever remain etched in my mind. The picture shows a baby with fuzzy curls; trusting, happy eyes; a beaming, gap-toothed smile. His chubby, loaf-like baby hands remind me of my own kids’ hands, which I often can’t help kissing or blowing raspberries on. There he is, crawling on his dad’s belly, enjoying one of the last playtimes of his life.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s plans over the last year or so to alleviate the violence plaguing the city she was elected to run simply aren’t working, as evidenced by the extreme failure of her “Our City, Our Safety” program. Who knew that injecting “resources” en masse instead of allowing police to do their jobs wouldn’t work?

At least 11 people were killed and another 61 were wounded in shootings across the Chicagoland area over the weekend. This past weekend’s numbers are up from the previous weekend, which saw at least 10 fatally shot and another 50 wounded.

The surge in crime is finally starting to affect Washington’s cozy and wealthy elite

Imagine dining al fresco at a popular French brasserie in Washington DC. It’s a clear, summer night and the streets are buzzing with residents and tourists alike. You’re enjoying your Burger Americain, and suddenly gunshots ring out down the street. Diners duck and run for cover. You later hear that two men were injured just blocks away from where you were enjoying your meal. The stark realization hits: the heart of the nation’s capital is not safe.
