8 people charged in connection to fraudulent commercial driver examinations: OPP
Eight individuals face 24 Criminal Code charges in a Serious Fraud Office investigation into bribery schemes undermining Ontario's commercial driver licensing integrity.
- On Thursday, January 28, 2026, eight people were charged with Criminal Code offences tied to fraudulent commercial driver exams in Kingston and the Greater Toronto Area, and are due in the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto.
- At the Ministry of Transportation's request, the Serious Fraud Office began investigating suspected irregularities in January 2024 with contributions from the Ontario Provincial Police and FINTRAC.
- Investigators say bribes were arranged to influence applicants' road examinations, with charges including secret commissions, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and breach of trust; Victor Imade, Georgetown, is among the accused.
- Seizures related to the probe included commercial motor vehicles, as investigators seized vehicles tied to unlicensed schools delivering unauthorized training in eastern Ontario and Quebec.
- Earlier inquiries identified over 200 incidents where students circumvented the Mandatory Entry-Level Training requirement of at least 103.5 hours for a commercial Class A licence.
