The accused, Bill Allison and Kamar Cunningham, were charged with multiple offences related to firearms trafficking and participation in a criminal organization following a police investigation dubbed 'Project Patton'.
The Crown alleged that the accused were involved in importing firearms from the United States and distributing them in Toronto.
The court relied heavily on intercepted communications using coded language.
Mr. Allison testified, claiming he only received firearms for personal use, but his evidence was rejected.
Mr. Allison was found guilty of firearms trafficking, offering to transfer a firearm, and conspiracy.
Mr. Cunningham was found guilty of firearms trafficking, participating in a criminal organization, and possession for the purpose of transferring, but was acquitted of conspiracy due to reasonable doubt about his membership.
