The accused was charged with five counts of counselling the commission of offences that were not committed, including counselling the murder of his wife, planting a gun and drugs in her car, and the murder of her family lawyer.
The Crown's case relied heavily on recordings of the accused's conversations with a police agent and an undercover officer posing as a hitman.
The accused claimed the police altered the recordings to frame him.
The court rejected the accused's evidence, finding the recordings accurate and the accused's claims baseless.
The court found the accused guilty on all five counts, concluding he actively induced the undercover officer to commit the offences and intended for them to be carried out.
