Eight people are facing charges after an investigation found bribes were being offered for "favorable consideration" during commercial driver exams in Kingston and the Greater Toronto Area, according to police.

Ontario Provincial Police say officers started an investigation into "suspected irregularities in the driver examination process for commercial Class A licenses" in January 2024. The investigation was launched at the request of the Ministry of Transportation.

"The Serious Fraud Office investigation revealed that bribes were facilitated in exchange for favorable consideration during specific applicants' road examinations," the OPP said.

Eight suspects from Kingston, Brampton, Oshawa, Georgetown, North York, and Caledon are facing a total of 24 charges.

Police say the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
