Rizzuto acquittal confirmed

The highest Quebec court has confirmed the 2019 acquittal of Leonardo Rizzuto on gun and drug charges. Evidence was excluded because conversations had been illegally recorded in the office of Rizzuto’s lawyer Loris Cavaliere.

This is the second news story in a week involving a case where evidence was invalidated because police had intercepted conversations between a suspect and his lawyer: last week it was this collusion story. Don’t police have to understand the rules on this?

Now I hope I understood the legal scenario here properly!
