MONTREAL — When Quebec provincial police unleashed Operation Crayfish in 2010, they boasted of the damaging blow dealt to organized crime in the province’s Abitibi region.

But as cases proceed through the courts after more than 80 arrests and the seizure of large quantities of drugs, $900,000 cash, weapons and a helicopter, it is the judicial system that is now coming under scrutiny.

The Canadian Judicial Council announced Tuesday it is reviewing the conduct of Justice Michel Girouard of the Quebec Superior Court for the alleged purchase of “an illicit substance from a police informant.”

Another judge, Marc Grimard of Quebec Court, is facing a similar allegation.

On Monday, Chief Justice Elizabeth Corte of the Quebec Court said the allegation against Judge Grimard is being taken “very seriously” and he is not being assigned new cases.
