 Conversations between Maloney and Eng were illegally recorded despite a court order that only the first minute of Maloney's conversations were to be monitored so as to determine whether the individual who he was talking to was on the list of those being investigated.Maloney had been instrumental in getting Eng appointed as police services board chair, and many in the police resented him for continually giving advice to Eng despite his lack of formal role.Eng was vice-president of advocacy at the Canadian Association of Retired Persons, but departed the organization on January 27, 2016.
