A Vancouver man is accused of hosting parties and running a makeshift nightclub in his penthouse condominium suite. He's fighting the charges, which haven't been proven in court.

It was the wee hours of a Saturday in late January, and this wasn’t the Vancouver police’s first visit to the suite. Earlier that month, they had received a 911 call reporting loud noises and party sounds. A week later, they got another about a large gathering at the condo. On both occasions, the police department was short on resources and sent no one, according to an application for search warrants.

A final call to the cops came from the building’s concierge, according to warrants, and Movassaghi again refused to open his door. This was the weekend of the cheeseburger delivery, which was followed by a search warrant, the arrest of Movassaghi and charges against him of failing to comply with public health orders and of selling liquor without a licence. Some 77 guests at the suite—none wearing a mask, according to a police report—also faced fines.

Throw him in jail

Looking forward to seeing this guy’s pants pulled down.

That's right! Sure there was over 100 people in his apartment. But they were FAMILY! What's he supposed to do? The drinking, music, dancing and noise? They were watching a game on TV. Yeah, that's it. I'm glad he filed a complaint against the police. How DARE they do their job?
