Rob Ford is participating in events, such as this debate in East York on Monday, in his run for re-election as mayor this October. But controversy surrounding his relationship with Sandro Lisi, his onetime driver and friend, won't go away. The mayor may have to take the stand in the extortion case involving Lisi. (CBC)
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford will be subpoenaed to testify as a witness in the extortion case of his friend and former driver, Alexander (Sandro) Lisi, CBC News has learned.
Lisi will have a hearing in November or December, and could be asked to answer for some of the details unveiled in the police surveillance documents affiliated with the Project Brazen 2 investigation into a series of guns and gangs raids called Project Traveller. The mayor was featured prominently in the surveillance.
Detectives want to talk to Ford in connection with the case, but the mayor has refused to speak to the police. A meeting was set up Thursday so police could serve the mayor with a subpoena, but the meeting was cancelled when the media learned of it.
On the stand, Ford would be tested under oath, and could face perjury charges if he doesn't answer truthfully.
Project Brazen 2 was a months-long investigation triggered by reports of a video allegedly showing Ford smoking crack, included surveillance on land, from the air and interviews with a series of former Ford staffers, police have said.
Details about the investigation are contained in a nearly 500-page police document related to the Lisi case. The document was filed by police in an effort to obtain a search warrant that resulted in Lisi's arrest on drug charges.
Ford previously has said that he is confident that he will not be arrested in relation to the crack video.
"I knew I did nothing wrong," said Ford about the charges.
Since returning to work from rehab at the end of June, the mayor has vowed to end his relationship with Lisi.
