Windsor police chaplain criminally charged over alleged bribery
A volunteer chaplain for Windsor police has been criminally charged with bribery in connection to another man’s judicial proceeding.
Hassan Rkie, 47, was arrested in June and information was sworn against him in court earlier this month. His next Ontario Court of Justice appearance is Friday.
It’s alleged in court documents obtained by the Windor Star that Rkie “did intentionally attempt to dissuade a person … by bribes from giving evidence in a judicial proceeding.”
The alleged bribery was committed in early February – less than two months after Rkie was introduced in December as the Windsor police’s first-ever Muslim chaplain, described at the time as a “historic” appointment.
A spokesperson for Windsor police said Rkie, who was never an employee of the department, is no longer a chaplain for the service.
“We’re no longer connected to him,” said Gary Francoeur, director of corporate communications.
