fire bombing plan and avoided jail.0:10The real estate agent pleaded guilty to a violent debt, collection conspiracy, and0:15received a sixteen-month community sentence.0:17The threat forced the intended target, his wife and their basement tenants from0:21their homes.0:22What led the judge to order house arrest after a threat that drove two families from0:26home?0:26Solduzzi wanted money recovered from contractor Ali Raza Jamal Salehi over0:30unfinished work at his parents' home.0:31The forty-three-year old lived in Vaughan.0:34He gave his proposed collector a Richmond Hill address.0:36His guilty plea and sentencing took place in Toronto.0:39On October twenty-eight, two thousand and twenty-six, Solduzzi waived his right to0:43trial and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit extortion.0:45Justice Catherine H.0:47Raynolander accepted the sentence jointly proposed by prosecutors and his defense.0:51He admitted offering to pay Ryan Cribby to collect the alleged debt, knowing the0:55plan involved extreme violence.0:56Solduzzi must spend the first six months under strict house arrest.1:00The following five months carry house arrest with an overnight curfew.1:03From eleven until six, after the full sixteen-month community sentence.1:07He'll serve two years of probation.1:09The court also ordered DNA samples and barred him from contacting Jamal Salahi or1:12Cribi.1:13Solduzzi is a father of two with no prior criminal record.1:16Cribby, a thirty-four-year-old berryman, still faces an untried extortion,1:21conspiracy charge, and firearm charges.1:23Six intercepted conversations captured their discussions between October fifteenth1:27and December three, two thousand and twenty-five.1:29The men knew each other through Narcotics Anonymous meetings.1:32Solduzzi had recently sponsored others.1:34While Cribi was attending meetings and actively using drugs, Cribi told Solduzi he1:38was struggling financially because of his son's serious illness and difficulties in1:42his marriage.1:42On October fifteenth, he asked whether an offer involving twenty-seven K remained1:47open.1:47Solduzzi said his mother was worried.1:49Cribi suggested collecting without telling her, and Solduzzi expressed interest.1:53On October twenty, four Solduzzi said he'd bring an envelope containing the address1:57and a breakdown of the alleged debt.1:59That conversation used twenty, one dollars zero or twenty, four dollars, zero.2:05The earlier figure was twenty seven dollars zero.2:09Those changing amounts described the alleged debt.2:11On November one, Solduzzi spelled out the Richmond Hill address.2:15He described a rental property and said he wasn't sure Jamal Salehi still lived2:18there.2:18The proposed violence included throwing a Molotov cocktail through a window, beating2:22Jamal Salehi as he ran outside and threatening to break his legs.2:25Solduzzi responded, Do what you gotta do.2:28It's unclear whether that exchange happened on November1 or December3 .2:32He also accepted Kribi's proposal to bring what Kribi called a bunch of white racist2:36guys.2:37Solduzzi wanted assurances that his family wouldn't be identified.2:40Kribi proposed claiming he'd bought the debt from an unnamed person.2:43On November11 , Solduzi said there was no rush.2:46Kribby said he needed money and discussed support for a fundraiser he'd started for2:49his son at least three weeks earlier.2:51Kribi later claimed Jamal Solehi had been followed to two restaurants, including a2:55Woodbridge coffee shop.2:57He said cameras near the house meant the attack should happen elsewhere.3:00Solduzie replied, Sounds good, and again told him not to rush.3:04That discussion happened on December3 .3:06In their November202 call, Solduzi had asked whether anything had happened, and3:10Cribbby said he'd been sick.3:12Police tracked Cribi's phone and vehicle.3:14Prosecutors said there was no evidence he visited the home or restaurants as3:17claimed.3:18No attack happened.3:19Police warned Jamal Salai on November2,20205 , after identifying him through the3:24intercepted information.3:26He and his wife had already received calls and messages about payment for3:29contracting work.3:30Police advised him to make a report, and his family relocated.3:33Jamal Salahi attended sentencing by video.3:36He described months of fear, damage to his marriage and financial security, and3:40stress related medical problems.3:42He wrote, Police officers came to our home and told my wife and me that our lives3:46were in danger and that we had to leave immediately.3:49His wife no longer felt safe at home.3:51Their basement tenants, a family with two young children, also left.3:54Prosecutors described six to eight weeks of displacement and proposed three dollars,3:58one hundred compensation.4:00The court ordered restitution for lost tenant rent.4:02The final amount is unclear.4:04York Regional Police uncovered the scheme through Project South.4:07An investigation into alleged police corruption and information leaking to criminal4:11networks.4:11Court authorizations allowed investigators to intercept Cribby's communications.4:15Prosecutors said Solduzzi wasn't involved in the investigation's other alleged4:18activity.4:19Project South began in June2020, five after police stopped an alleged plot to kill a4:24senior corrections officer at Toronto South Detention Center.4:27It initially produced charges against seven Toronto police officers, one retired4:31constable and nineteen civilians.4:33Solduzzi surrendered to York police on February fourth, two thousand and twenty-six,4:38when the investigation culminated in arrests.4:40Constable Timothy Barnhart remains in custody awaiting trial.4:43Two other Toronto officers have pleaded guilty.4:46Derek McCormick received a ten-month conditional sentence for theft under five4:49dollars, zero and breach of trust, and resigned.4:52Elias Mowad received a conditional discharge and one year's probation for4:55unauthorized use of a computer.4:57Those separate cases sit alongside Solduzzi's conviction.5:00His punishment turns on the agreement he made, which was criminal, even though the5:04planned extortion wasn't carried out.5:05Reinalander weighed his guilty plea, remorse and eighty, five completed hours of5:09community service.5:11He apologized before sentencing and had intended to plead guilty from the outset.5:15His clean record and the fact that nobody was physically injured also weighed in5:19favor of a community sentence.5:20But Raynalander also identified the choices that made the conspiracy serious.5:24He sought to take matters into his own hands instead of following proper legal5:28recourse.5:28She said, Solduzzi had taken no issue with the proposed fire bombing or racist5:32accomplices.Читати статтюХронологія історіїHeyDex
