Maple Ridge City Councillor Facing Charges in Multiple B.C. Jurisdictions
- B.C. Prosecution Service announced on May 16 that Claire Hatcher was appointed special prosecutor for a case involving Maple Ridge city councillor Ahmed Antar Yousef Mohamed.
- The appointment followed a probe conducted by the RCMP detachment in the Upper Fraser Valley into allegations of assault and firearm offenses involving Yousef, with charges formally laid on May 9.
- Claire Hatcher, an experienced lawyer based in Vancouver working outside of government roles, has been appointed to provide legal guidance to investigators, evaluate charges, and lead the prosecution if authorized, to prevent any improper influence due to Yousef’s position as an elected official.
- Yousef is charged with four separate assault allegations involving different victims, one charge related to firearm pointing, one for unsafe firearm storage, as well as two charges for violating a court order; none of these have yet been proven in court under an active publication ban.
- Yousef announced an immediate leave from council, expressing his intention to return, while the hearing scheduled for May 12 was postponed to June 9 in Port Coquitlam provincial court.
