The accused was found guilty of 18 counts of firearms trafficking following an undercover police operation.
He brought applications for a stay of proceedings, alleging entrapment and an abuse of process under s. 7 of the Charter.
He argued that the police exploited his vulnerability as a stateless person and that the use of a volatile police agent in public areas shocked the community.
The court dismissed the applications, finding that the police merely provided an opportunity to commit the offences and did not induce the accused.
The court also held that the police conduct, including the monitoring of the agent and the locations of the transactions, did not amount to an abuse of process.
