The remaining pages of a document that describes some of the evidence police obtained during an investigation into Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has been ordered released by the Ontario Superior Court.

Because the provincial Crown has an opportunity to appeal, Justice Ian Nordheimer’s momentous decision, the information, including police wiretap evidence, cannot be made public yet as Crown Attorneys have until Dec. 6 to make their case.

If and when the documents are released, the public will have seen almost all of the police-sworn evidence in the 474-page document, including shocking allegations about alcohol and drug use, the mayor’s relationship with an alleged drug dealer and an association with a woman who some of Ford’s staffers suspected was a prostitute.

The allegations have not been tested or proven in court. Ford says he is not an addict and the woman mentioned in the document is not a prostitute but a friend.

Lisi’s personal information and details about confidential informants will stay blacked out when the pages are released.

Lawyers for a handful of media outlets have gone to court several times to argue for the release of the entire “information to obtain” (ITO) document and they have been quite successful in convincing Nordheimer that there is a public interest because the investigation is related to Toronto’s mayor.

So far, most of the ITO has been released in three parts.

The ITO was prepared by detectives who were seeking a search warrant after Ford’s friend, Alexander “Sandro” Lisi, and a local business owner were arrested on drug charges in early October.

The arrests occurred during a police investigation into a cellphone video that allegedly shows the mayor smoking from a glass pipe. Police confirmed late last month that they have obtained the video, but it has not been seen by the public.

In addition to drug offences, Lisi is charged with extortion for alleged attempts to retrieve the video before it was discovered by police on a hard drive seized during drug raids last June.

Meanwhile, Jacobsen said Nordheimer’s decision is “significant” because it will support similar arguments at future hearings.

Lisi’s lawyer, who also has a chance to appeal, and the provincial Crown argued against the release of the latest batch of redacted pages.
