Giorgio Mammoliti (Ward 7 York West) has made statements which suggest a criminal conspiracy intended to discredit him and others. It appears however that so far, at least, Mr Mammoliti has the most feeble of cases to support such a concern. He says “when I can prove it, I’ll be going to the police.” There may well be many people interested in discrediting the city councillor. He has clearly identified political opponents who play hardball — maybe even a little dirty. The issue however is whether anyone is committing a crime. Mr. Mammoliti refers to phone tapping and people following him. But he is unable to prove it. Tapping phones is clearly illegal. Surveillance is frequently ripe for prosecution as harassment. His opponents at City Hall are laughing at Mr. Mammoliti. This sadly is what you get for raising such concerns without any proof.
