Crown won’t prosecute some charges laid in Project South police corruption investigation

July 20, 2026

Superior court indictments filed for eight of those accused in the police corruption investigation known as Project South list 33 fewer charges against them than what they were originally charged with by police earlier this year. Screening and streamlining charges in this way is a normal part of the prosecution process to ensure the Crown pursues the best case it can, according to current and former prosecutors.
