A jury of seven men and seven women was selected Monday afternoon. Justice Shaun Nakatsuru decided on 14 people, given the trial is expected to last a month. However, only 12 jurors will deliberate at the end of the case.
普莱特斯基于2024年5月被捕，这是多伦多地区警察和安大略证券委员会共同进行的“天鹊计划”调查的一部分。警方指控普莱特斯基在2020年7月至2022年7月末之间，从投资者那里收到数百万美元，并经营了一个多百万美元的欺诈计划。
Pleterski was arrested in May 2024, after a lengthy joint investigation by Durham Regional Police and the Ontario Securities Commission dubbed Project Swan. Police alleged Pleterski operated a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme with funds he received from investors between July 2020 and the end of July 2022.
自2022年夏天以来，CBC多伦多一直对普莱特斯基进行广泛报道，当时他被一些试图追回他们交给他投资于加密货币和外汇的数百万美元的投资者逼入破产。预计检方将在整个审判过程中传唤十多名目击者。
CBC Toronto has reported extensively on Pleterski since the summer of 2022, when he was forced into bankruptcy by some of his investors trying to recover millions of dollars they gave him to invest in cryptocurrency and foreign exchange. Crown prosecutors are expected to call more than a dozen witnesses over the course of the trial.
