一名被控从多伦多警察处获取机密信息的贩毒嫌疑人,调查人员称这些信息被用于一场未遂的谋杀高级惩教官员的阴谋,周一再次被拒绝保释。
An alleged drug trafficker accused of obtaining confidential information from a Toronto police officer, which investigators say was used in an unsuccessful conspiracy to kill a senior corrections official, was denied bail again Monday.
布莱恩·达科斯塔的律师要求高等法院对5月份撤销其保释的决定进行复审。肖恩·中鹤法官驳回了申请。
Lawyers for Brian Da Costa asked for a Superior Court review of a previous decision to revoke his bail in May. Justice Shaun Nakatsuru dismissed the application.
法官作出决定的原因以及保释复审听证会的细节受到一项常规出版禁令的保护,该禁令旨在确保达科斯塔获得公平审判的权利。
The judge's reasons for his decision and details from the bail review hearing are protected under a routine publication ban aimed at ensuring Da Costa's right to a fair trial.
44岁的达科斯塔将继续被拘留,面临九项指控,包括贿赂治安官员、贩运毒品和警服以及共谋妨碍司法。针对他的指控尚未在法庭上得到检验。
Da Costa, 44, will remain in custody facing nine charges, including bribing a peace officer, trafficking drugs and police uniforms, and conspiracy to obstruct justice. The charges against him have yet to be tested in court.
这些指控与“南方计划”调查有关,该调查始于2025年6月,当时约克区警察挫败了一起谋杀多伦多南拘留中心(TSDC)一名高级惩教官员的阴谋。
The charges are connected to the Project South probe, which began in June 2025 when York Regional Police thwarted an alleged plot to kill a senior corrections official from Toronto South Detention Centre (TSDC).

Timothy Barnhardt allegedly ran an unauthorized search on the official's licence plate less than a month before the attempted hit, and he is accused of then sharing confidential information about that official with civilian Da Costa. The identity of the senior corrections official is covered by a publication ban for their safety.
根据案件中提交的获取信息(ITO)申请,警方截获的通信向调查人员显示,巴恩哈特“经常向已知犯罪同伙达科斯塔出售机密数据库信息,通常是在达科斯塔的指示下”。
Police-intercepted communications revealed to investigators that Barnhardt "routinely sold confidential database information to known criminal associate Da Costa, often at Da Costa's direction," according to an information to obtain (ITO) application filed in the case.
