“I know I did nothing wrong,” Mr. Ford said Thursday after reports of a dispute between the OPP and Toronto police over their investigation into him. “I knew the day was going to come that I’d be cleared and I guess today’s the day.”

Det-Sgt. Gary Giroux, the Toronto police homicide detective who has led the Project Brazen 2 investigation of Mayor Ford for 10 months, said his probe continues.

“I have seen some of those comments myself,” the officer said. “What I am seeing on the news is not overly accurate. It’s my investigation, and my investigation is still going.”

Search warrant documents unsealed by a consortium of lawyers representing media outlets, including the National Post, revealed that Toronto police took an iPhone belonging to Alexander “Sandro” Lisi, the mayor’s friend and former driver, to California where Apple Inc. unlocked 10 gigabytes of data.

Asked whether he has gone through the evidence on the phone, Det.-Sgt. Giroux declined to comment.

“Evidentiary stuff, I can’t get into,” he said.

According to some media outlets, Crown attorneys are now saying charges against Mayor Ford are unlikely.

Brendan Crawley, a spokesman for the attorney-general’s office, said Crown attorneys don’t make those decisions.
