It's not very often that the underdog can claim that Justice is Served, but this time John Haines can say exactly that. "I have claimed my innocence from the very beginning, and my victory is a statement of truth and moral fortitude for everyone who has been to victim to our system," says Mr. Haines.
According to statement of facts read into record yesterday November 3, 2017 in court at the Orangeville Courthouse, A criminal investigation against Mr Haines and Addiction Canada began in May 2015 after Ontario Provincial Police charged a doctor working at Addiction Canada's Caledon Ontario location with practicing medicine without proper License to do so. The Investigation continued for over the next year and with allegations of defrauding patients of up to $6.1 million, according to court documents, Ontario Provincial Police laid several criminal charges including Fraud, Money Laundering, Trafficking and others in Caledon district through the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville against Haines personally. After being charged, Mr. Haines has always maintained his innocence, and went on the record right away stating that "these were trumped up charges stemming from an over-zealous investigating Police division that failed to proceed on the presumption of innocence first and at that time I said I would work to clear my name at any cost." Mr. Haines stated after leaving the courthouse, "I always said from the very beginning these charges were wrong and part of an over zealous investigation that wasted millions in tax payers money to end up ruining our business that saves lives in a time where the very epidemic that plagues this country is at its highest mortality rate!"
