RCMP to reveal info about Project Dilemma, latest covert crackdown on drugs

Wednesday, January 30, 2013 .......
RCMP will announce details Thursday regarding their latest major covert police crackdown on the drug underworld, the Winnipeg Sun has learned. Mounties began making several arrests in Project Dilemma late Tuesday and into Wednesday, according to justice sources, but the exact number isn’t currently known. It appears an investigation on Wall Street in Winnipeg on Wednesday, which involved city cops and Mounties, is related to Project Dilemma. A remote-controlled bomb unit was seen entering an auto garage at the scene. It’s believed some suspects in the crackdown may have ties to the Rock Machine outlaw motorcycle gang. RCMP are refusing comment on the case prior to a Thursday morning news conference. Suspects facing charges will be directly indicted into the Court of Queen’s Bench, according to sources. “It’s a fair assumption some of them will face drug-related charges,” said one source. The use of direct indictments means preliminary hearings meant to test the Crown’s case will be bypassed. The use of the procedure has become routine in high-level organized crime-related prosecutions in Manitoba, including Project Deplete, which in February 2012 saw 13 suspects collared and sent straight to trial following a months-long undercover operation. Deplete also saw cops use a police civilian informant paid in the range of $500,000 in phases (plus expenses) to arrange drug deals and report back to his police handlers. http://www.winnipegsun.com/2013/01/30/rcmp-to-reveal-info-about-project-dilemma-latest-covert-crackdown-on-drugs

  1. To much money to be made in drugs & the cops will never stop it.

    The only way to stop it is to legalize it....
