A Crown attorney has withdrawn charges against OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino, who was alleged to have illegally influenced elected officials in Caledonia, the site of a long-running aboriginal occupation.
In a Cayuga, Ont., courtroom Wednesday morning, Milan Rupic said there were no reasonable grounds for conviction. He also said his office had the authority to take over the case, which hinged on private charges.
Justice of the Peace Dan MacDonald agreed, adding that pursuing the case would not be in the best interest of the public.
Gary McHale, the activist pushed to have Fantino charged after the provincial police head allegedly sent an email in 2007 telling the mayor and councillors in Caledonia not to attend McHale's rallies, opposes Wednesday's ruling.
He has filed a judicial review claiming the Crown attorney's office does not have jurisdiction to take over his case.
Fantino had repeatedly denied the allegations.
