Ontario, Feb. 7 -- York Regional Police have charged seven serving Toronto Police Service officers, one retired officer and 19 other suspects following a seven-month corruption investigation linked to organized crime, shootings and a foiled murder plot, police said Thursday, as reported by CTV News.
