Man Loses 16-Year Legal Battle for Seized Cash

A Canadian man, Marcel Breton, has lost a lengthy legal battle to recover over $1.2 million seized by police during a 2009 search for an illegal firearm. Despite being acquitted of drug charges, an Ontario appeals court ruled that most of the money should go to the government, as Breton couldnt prove it was lawfully obtained. However, the court did decide to return the $15,000 found in the heating vents, as it couldnt be definitively linked to illegal activities. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
