A Toronto police officer accused of stealing a deceased person's credit and debit cards, as well as a luxury watch, asserted his innocence in court on Tuesday.

About two years ago, on the evening of Feb. 18, 2022, Toronto Police Service Const. Boris Borissov was called to investigate the apartment of a missing man, where he discovered a suicide note upon arrival.

As they continued searching the home, Borissov found an empty box for a Tag Heuer watch. His phone records reveal he Googled the brand’s name shortly after.

“I saw the empty watch box, and I was curious about watches,” Borissov told the court on Tuesday.

Photos of a Tag Heuer watch, however, were taken on Borissov’s phone later that same evening. Borissov assured the court it was “absolutely not” the watch from the deceased man’s home.

“It’s a photo of the watch,” he said. “This is a watch that I had in my house.”

So the photo of the watch he had at his house was a Tag Heuer, but he had to earlier google the brand name because he didn’t know what it was? Did he also google what a wallet is?
