Jail guard fears for his life after alleged botched hit that sparked Project South probe, court hears

A Toronto correctional officer, whose identity remains confidential due to a publication ban, testified in court about being targeted in a botched assassination attempt that triggered the Project South police corruption investigation. The officer claims he has been threatened twice at his home and remains fearful for his safety despite having been away from the detention center for a year. His testimony occurred during a separate legal proceeding involving an inmate's claim of cruel conditions. The officer stated that individuals involved in the plot still remain unidentified and uncharged, though one police officer has been charged with leaking his home address through misuse of police systems. The incident initiated a broader investigation leading to charges against multiple Toronto Police officers.
