Rob Ford documents: 8 revelations from wiretap evidence
Heroin use, a rift between the Fords and an office 'walk of shame' among allegations in police docs
Information released Wednesday from police wiretaps has Toronto Mayor Rob Ford facing a host of new accusations and revelations.
The allegations, from a police investigation called Project Brazen 2, are unproven and have not been tested in court.
When Ford admitted after months of denials to having smoked crack
cocaine once likely during one of his "drunken stupors," he said he "has
nothing left to hide."But wiretap interceptions from the Toronto police investigation
suggest crack cocaine may not have been the only drug the mayor has
used.During an April 20 phone conversation between Liban Siyad
and Abdullahi Harun, Harun claims he has multiple photographs of Ford
"doing the hezza," or heroin.
"That is not a crack house," Ford told Toronto Coun. Michael Thompson when questioned about the residence during a council meeting. "Have you visited the house? Have you walked in the house? No you haven’t ... So you’re listening, you’re listening to what the media says?"
Police
documents reveal the address is believed to be a so-called trap house
where people sell drugs. Wiretap interceptions revealed someone was
called to the house on April 20 because the mayor "wants some drugs."In his second interview with police on June 19, Price discussed the home at length and admitted to visiting it previously.Shortly after the first allegations against the mayor, Price visited
the home to question one of the residents about the allegations. He said
the woman who opened the door appeared to be high.
Mark Towhey, Ford's former chief of staff, told
police he had a conversation about Smith's murder with Price.
Towhey said Price disclosed that Smith owned the cellphone storing the
video of the mayor smoking crack cocaine and that it was the motive
behind killing him.However, the motive for Smith's death was discussed during interceptions and may have been in retaliation for a robbery.On the night of Smith's death, police say members of a rival gang to
the Dixon City Bloods — the focus of the raids — became involved in a
fight at a downtown night club with Smith and another man.
The allegations, from a police investigation called Project Brazen 2, are unproven and have not been tested in court.
