B.C. Supreme Court issues separate rulings on evidence collected against Nabil Abdelkader in 2020 .

Ruling: Mounties used hit-and-run investigation as a ruse to ensnare him for drug trafficking.

Court found police colluded with civil forfeiture authorities to bypass due process obligations to avoid giving back the Jeep .

Judge found police actions “intrusive,” and ruled hidden compartment was Abdelkad ’s “private space”.

Abdelkader's lawyer Tony Paisana said the court’s findings in the case are “significant and unusual,” and his client is trying to put the years -long legal ordeal behind him.

The federal Public Prosecution Service of Canada said it is “reviewing the decision and has 30 days to consider whether an appeal is in the public interest”.
