The massive investigation into corruption at the Abbotsford Police Department has cast a dark shadow on investigations done by the accused officers.
Some lawyers, such as Paul Doroshenko, have already begun checking if any evidence that was used against his clients came from one of the search warrants that are now part of the investigation.
“Right now I can tell you, not just myself, but other lawyers across the Lower Mainland that are dealing with cases from Abbotsford are probably looking very closely at the information police have reported in files they have outstanding, and probably cases that go back a few years,” he said.
“If you’ve got officers whose integrity and reliability and honesty are in question, I can tell you, that can be the end of a prosecution.”
