Police in the Greater Toronto Area say that a former airline captain flew hundreds of flights without the required licence.

Peel Regional Police say that they will hold a news conference at 11 a.m. on Tuesday to detail the results of “Project Icarus.”

Few details are known about the probe, which police are describing as a “complex fraud” investigation.

Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich and Peel Regional Chair Nando Iannicca are among those expected to speak at the news conference.
