John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, was arrested over a charge that the centre says alleges obstruction of justice and is apparently in connection with Carpay’s hiring of a private investigator in 2021 to follow a Manitoba judge who was presiding over a case challenging COVID-19 restrictions.
In a statement issued on Jan. 1, the Justice Centre said it was made aware of the warrant for Carpay’s arrest on Dec. 30 and that Carpay had turned himself in to the police. He has since been released on bail with the sole condition being that he cannot contact the judge, according to the statement.
