Ontario Court Rules Hidden Cash Belongs to State

A court in Ontario has ruled that hidden cash found by police during a search for an illegal gun does not lawfully belong to the man residing on the property. The ruling follows a case involving Marcel Breton, whose home in Thunder, Bay, Ontario, was searched in 2009. Police had been looking for an illegal handgun when they found large amounts of cash hidden around the property. The court’s decision has significant implications for property rights and asset ownership in legal proceedings.
