"Muhamer Oruglica, 36, was arrested at a Brampton home in February as a result of information that originated from Project South. Oruglica was charged with four offences: two firearms-related charges, breach of trust and fraudulent use of a computer system, police said. It is unclear what ties, if any, Oruglica has to the wide-ranging corruption and organized crime investigation."
"There is a distinction to be made between being arrested as part of a project, and being arrested as a result of information gleaned from it. The Crown did not confirm any connection to the corruption probe during Oruglica's bail hearing."
"The investigation by York Regional Police began last June when officers uncovered an alleged conspiracy to kill a senior corrections officer at the Toronto South Detention Centre. Seven current Toronto police officers and one retired constable have been charged as part of the investigation, alongside 19 civilians."
Muhamer Oruglica, a 36-year-old jail guard, was arrested in Brampton in February and charged with four offences including two firearms-related charges, breach of trust, and fraudulent use of a computer system. The arrest resulted from information obtained during Project South, a months-long corruption probe conducted by York Regional Police. The investigation began in June when officers uncovered an alleged conspiracy to kill a senior corrections officer at the Toronto South Detention Centre. Seven current Toronto police officers and one retired constable have been charged alongside 19 civilians as part of the investigation. Oruglica's lawyer disputes any direct connection to the corruption probe, distinguishing between being arrested as part of a project versus being arrested from information derived from it.
