The accused brought an application for judicial interim release (bail) following his arrest in connection with Project Harrington, a multi-police force investigation into large-scale cocaine importation into eastern Canada.
The accused faced multiple charges including conspiracy to import and trafficking in cocaine, with an alleged role as a facilitator who made introductions and coordinated between participants.
The court found substantial concerns under the primary, secondary, and tertiary grounds for detention.
The proposed release plan, consisting of house arrest with the accused's mother as sole surety and electronic bracelet monitoring, was found to be deficient and inadequate to address the court's concerns.
The application for bail was denied.
