A person from Morocco has been charged in connection with multiple bomb threats that occurred throughout Ontario in early November.
The police said the threats were directed at religious and non-religious schools in the northern and eastern parts of the province on November 1, and they also said some "public facilities" also received threats.
According to the Ontario Provincial Police, an individual made requests for money in exchange for details about the alleged explosives at these sites.
The police did not find bombs or incendiary devices, although they confirmed that many buildings were evacuated or closed during the day as a precautionary measure.
Later that month, the Public Prosecution Service said a suspect from Morocco had been detained and they had "strong reason" to believe this person was responsible for the bomb threats.
On December 27, the police said the suspect – identified as Hashem Al-Moussa, 45, from Casablanca – had been charged in connection with the investigation, and the suspect faces charges of threats, assault, and extortion.
Officials said in a press release: "Ontario Police are consulting with the Federal Department of Justice to determine how the accused will appear before the Ontario Court of Justice."
The charges have not been proven in court.
