Radio host suggests a special prosecutor in Surrey
Jaswinder Singh Dilawari, one of Sims’ fellow hosts at Swift Radio, said he has conducted interviews with officials like Surrey’s mayor and the chief constable on what they need to solve the extortion crisis.
He asked why there isn’t a special prosecutor for Surrey to help deal with extortion cases, and whether there is enough co-ordination among different levels of government on the issue.
Sharma, B.C.’s attorney general, said a special prosecutor might not be fit to deal with a rash of extortion cases, as they don’t investigate cases themselves.
She also reiterated that one of her top priorities is making sure Crown prosecutors are well resourced to deal with the crisis.
