Episode Details

Frank the Tank, a Toronto man with ties to organized crime, is at the heart of Project South, a major probe into alleged corruption in the Toronto Police Service. Charged with extortion and using leaked law enforcement data, hes one of four civilians accused of obtaining confidential police info from officers. The leaked details allegedly fueled intimidation, shootings, and even a murder plot within an underworld network. Despite strong evidence, cocaine trafficking charges against another key figure, Brian Da Costa, were stayed years ago. The case has sparked demands for a public inquiry into potential criminal ties slipping through the justice system. Phippards recent arrest on kidnapping, extortion, and weapons charges over gambling debts, including beating a debtor and demanding ransom, has further highlighted the issue. The broader Project South case now involves at least twenty-seven people, including seven officers.
