Seven people have been arrested after an Ontario Provincial Police-led (OPP) investigation uncovered alleged fraudulent activity related to G-test driver examinations in the Greater Toronto Area.
In September 2024, the OPP launched an investigation into suspected irregularities during driver examinations for G licences in Ontario, the police force said in a news release.
According to the OPP’s Serious Fraud Office, it examined allegations that bribes were exchanged for “favourable consideration” during the testing of specific applicants.
Seven people were arrested as a result of the probe.
They are Farhad Sanders, 43, of Maple, Ont.; Abdulkarim Afrayim Sava, 65, of Brampton; Ahmed Ismail Ghanchi, 44; Michelle Miceli, 49; and Shanna Marie Tozer, 43, all of Toronto; and Elizabeth Taylor, 50, of Mississauga.
Police said the accused face a combined total of 25 charges, including conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, breach of trust, money laundering, and secret commissions.
The accused were all released from police custody and are expected to appear in court later this week.
