Rob Ford's Toronto

[bobbob911]

50 pages into the document and this much is clear - there is plenty of "damning by association" but the transcripts of all interviews appear to be still redacted. The really juicy stuff will be there.

EDIT: pg72 is pretty good - I wish I could cut and paste

Who is this Fidani referenced in documents and here, in a tweet from Daniel Dale:

Police document: "FIDANI thought that LISI would drive the Mayor around to "hot spots" and facilitate getting drugs for the Mayor."
by Daniel Dale via twitter 10:27 AM

There are several Fidanis, but the most prominent family owns Orlando Corp. They grew up as Ford neighbours, and also have Florida property near them.

A few Fidanis donated to the campaign, and some of them are friends with Doug Ford's daughters.

They've got reports of Ford meeting with Lisi over 100 times. That's a lot of drug buying. (and vodka drinking, from the sound of it)

Some of the revelations about the number of phonecalls are interesting... 7, sometimes 11 times in short timespans. Then when they are both at the Esso station, they don't talk or acknowledge each other. Certainly doesn't point to wholesome activities...

Rob can always spin the meetings with Lisi as his attempt to help Lisi with Lisi's substance abuse problem, he could easily spin that he was Lisi's sober coach

Maybe they said all they had to say on the phone?

Yes, the frequency of meetings and contact is definitely interesting and supports a call for Ford to leave because of addiction (rather than casual use)

 

[bobbob911]

Lots of references to a Nico Fidani - who seems to also be a Ford driver on occasion

 

[Hype]

From the record of the phone logs its Ford calling Lisi multiple times in a day

 

[PinkLucy]

Is Doug on CP24 yet, telling us how they have saved a billion dollars?

Did Rob get to City Hall yet or is he just driving aimlessly around?

 

[dforthandbview]

quote of the day from Matt Elliot: Look at David Price, directing the hell out of those logistics.

Well, I can certainly thing of a good way to save a few hundred thousand until the next election.

Starting at pg 173 is a pretty good blow by blow of a typical drug drop at the Esso station

From the ITO: In between calls with David Price, Lisi was calling ppl who live in or near Dixon bldgs including Fabio BASSO & Mohammed SIAD

From the ITO: David Price & Sandro Lisi talked "numerous times" the day after the Gawker crack video story came out #TOpoli

pg 224 - the night the Gawker story got posted Lisi shortly thereafter phoned a place called "The Anger Management Centre" - too funny!

Lots of details around p.359 on the dry cleaner sting. Looks like an undercover officer dropped off some shirts with a pack of rolling papers in the pocket. bharami found it and they started a pot conversation which concluded with Bharami agreeing to sell the officer a quarter pound. The plan was to grab Lisi when he delivered the goods but it didn't work out. Pretty clear that Bahrami is one of Lisi's distributors, which explains why Ford gets his dry cleaning done there (as opposed to Lisi recruiting him because of Ford's patronage).
