TORONTO — A notorious video featuring late Toronto mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine has been made public.
The decision came today during a court proceeding in a case involving Ford’s friend and driver Alexander (Sandro) Lisi.
Lisi had faced an extortion charge in relation to efforts made to retrieve the infamous video of the controversial Ford apparently smoking crack cocaine in May 2013.
Ford died earlier this year from a rare form of cancer.
Lisi had been scheduled to stand trial on the extortion charge in September.
But a Crown lawyer said a resolution had been reached with Lisi’s lawyers on the matter in July, and has asked a Toronto judge for the extortion charge to be withdrawn.
As part of the resolution, Lisi has agreed to abide by certain conditions, which include keeping the peace, maintaining good behaviour and not having contact with certain individuals involved in his efforts to retrieve the Ford “crack video.”
