Ontario Justice Robert Rogerson acknowledged Currado became “emeshed in an elaborate story” from “a master con man,” but ruled the constable was not acting under duress and not in the public’s interest.

Instead, Rogerson ruled, the disgruntled police officer was out for revenge against the senior administration of the London police service and knew what he was doing was wrong.

What happened was never in dispute during a trial that explored the bizarre relationship between Currado and a man named Darko Jovanovich, the man Rogerson called a con-man extraordinaire.

Currado released confidential police information 34 times from November 2016 to September 2017 to Jovanovich, who posed at various times as Aaron Barak – a trained killer who worked for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad – and Julianna Greenspan.
