Judge reduces suspension for two Montreal officers sanctioned for lying to watchdog

The judge invalidated all but two days of that sanction.
In 2023, the police ethics board found that officers Mathieu Paré and Dominic Gagné reported on an intake form that a 23-year-old man who had been arrested had no known medical conditions — when they had been told otherwise.
The board found the two officers then made false statements to investigators from the province's police watchdog after David Tshiteya Kalubi died in custody the day after he was detained.

A coroner later concluded Tshiteya Kalubi's death was not related to the medical condition.
