The Thunder Bay man accused of being the leader of a criminal organization will be freed on bail Monday afternoon.

John Harry Tsekouras was arrested June 12 at the Balmoral Street police station and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to kidnap.

The 39-year-old man was originally charged in April 2012 for his alleged role in a major drug trafficking network. It is alleged that Tsekouras was the head of a criminal organization.

The initial charges were the result of a major police investigation dubbed Project Dolphin, a massive police operation that began in 2010 and involved multiple police forces including the Thunder Bay Police Service, RCMP and OPP.

Police brought new charges forward earlier this month citing new evidence that Tsekouras was involved in a plot to kidnap and murder an individual.

The incident did not occur.

Police did not reveal the country of origin or any other information about the intended victim.
