Six charged in Calgary police corruption case next in court Sept. 9

CALGARY — Six people accused in a corruption case that involves current and former members of the Calgary Police Service are next to appear in court on Sept. 9.

When charges were announced in June, police said the group would be in court today.

But in July the prosecution filed direct indictments, meaning the case is going directly to trial.

Police allege that Kenneth Carter hired former officer Stephen Walton, who was working in security, to follow his former wife and report on her activity.

Police say that Walton allegedly hired three members of the police service, who have also been charged.
