TORONTO—The drug trial for Alexander Lisi, a friend of Rob Ford, began Wednesday with a former undercover officer describing events leading up to the arrest that occurred at the height of the “crack video” scandal embroiling the former mayor.
Following not guilty pleas by Lisi and his co-accused, Jamshid (Jay) Bahrami, the Crown opened its case with the officer describing how he approached Bahrami in August 2013 at his west-end dry-cleaning store to buy marijuana.
