Police Charge Disbarred Brampton Lawyer in Alleged $4.5-Million Mortgage Fraud
Police say the disbarred lawyer faces multiple fraud charges and investigators believe more victims may come forward.
- Peel police charged former Brampton, Ont., lawyer Pawanjeet Singh Mann with fraud after an investigation revealed he allegedly orchestrated four mortgage and cheque schemes resulting in approximately $4.3 million in losses.
- The Law Society Tribunal of Ontario revoked Mann's licence in 2025 after finding he "knowingly participated" in a mortgage fraud scheme in late 2019; police arrested him on Aug 21 following a months-long investigation.
- Investigators say the fraud bureau received "multiple complaints" alleging fraudulent activity earlier this summer, and Mann now faces charges including four counts of fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, and criminal breach of trust.
- Peel Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich said these allegations represent a "profound breach of trust", as the impact on victims extends beyond financial loss to their sense of security and confidence in systems meant to protect them.
- Investigators believe more victims may exist, and they are urging anyone with relevant information or who believes they may have been affected to come forward, as no additional arrests have been made.
