Mamadi Camara reaches settlement with Montreal after he was mistakenly arrested

The law firm representing Mamadi Camara, who was mistakenly arrested by Montreal police in January 2021, says a settlement agreement has been reached between the victim, his relatives and the City of Montreal.

Camara was suing the City of Montreal and the Attorney General of Quebec for misconduct by Montreal police (SPVM) officers, as well as criminal and penal prosecutors.

The law firm, Arsenault Dufresne Wee, states the agreement puts an end to legal proceedings, but only mentions the City of Montreal.

Camara was arrested on Jan. 28, 2021 to face charges of attempted murder.

When officers pulled him out of his car through the window and subdued him on the ground, they injured his cheek.
