Canadian authorities announced on Thursday they were stopping their probe into Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, according to the Toronto Sun.
On the same day authorities announced their probe was set to end, more reports that Ford knew "a few dirty cops," the Toronto Sun reported.
Convicted drug trafficker Elena Basso claims that she's got "Rob's people and cops coming every f---ing day" since news hit the papers about the crack video filmed at her home, according to the Toronto Sun.
There were also new evidence in which alleged gangsters say Ford's friend and former driver Alexander Lisi warned their block was "dead" if they didn't hand over the crack video, the Toronto Sun reported.
None of these newly released allegations in the police search warrant request have been tested in court but they certainly will keep Ford in the spotlight which he has been struggling to avoid since the first reports of the video submerged, according to the Toronto Sun.
According to the Toronto Sun, the people of Toronto are exhausted of the mayors bad press and irresponsible behavior.
Officials still say there isn't enough evidence to lay charges against the mayor, even though he has been stripped of all his powers, and plans to run for mayor again in the upcoming elections, the Toronto Sun reported.
On Wednesday, Ford voted against city council motions to name a street for Nelson Mandela and to congratulate Canada's Olympic athletes, drawing incredulity even as he insisted he had accidentally pressed the wrong voting button, according to Reuters. He was the only councilor to cast a "nay" vote on the measures.
After the voting, the mayor's brother, Councillor Doug Ford, said voting mistakes are common and sometimes happen four to five times during council meetings and called the council's refusal to reopen the vote a "double standard," Reuters reported.
Councillor Josh Matlow said he did not believe the mayor's votes were mistakes, local media reported, according to Reuters.
Matlow said the mayor often votes "no" out of spite, sometimes because of disputes with the councillor who introduced a motion, Reuters reported.
Ford routinely votes against council and committee motions that have otherwise unanimous or near-unanimous support, according to Reuters.
In February, he voted against a motion on traffic light cameras, calling them a "cash grab," adding that he hates "red-light cameras," according to the Toronto Star. "I got nailed, $375 bucks. I hate 'em."
