Overview

• Ken Sim has filed a defamation lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court against Kareem Allam, his former chief of staff, and Alexander Tsakumis, a local businessman.
• The lawsuit alleges the defendants spread false claims that Sim was stopped for drunk driving and released without charges by Vancouver police.
• An RCMP-led investigation, reviewed by Abbotsford police in October 2024, found no evidence to support the allegations and deemed them baseless.
• The lawsuit also addresses the dissemination of these rumours through private conversations, social media posts, and campaign flyers in 2025.
• Both defendants deny the allegations, with Allam calling the lawsuit politically motivated and Tsakumis labeling it as theatrical and unfounded.
