  • The B.C. Prosecution Service appointed Claire Hatcher as special prosecutor in the case of Maple Ridge city councillor Ahmed Antar Yousef Mohamed on May 16, 2025.
  • The appointment follows a probe conducted by the RCMP's Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment into allegations of assault and firearm-related charges against Yousef.
