G&M: "Fraud, bribery charges against former SNC-Lavalin executive Stephane Roy thrown out"
The Trudeau Librano government apparently has its price tag.
It now seems that the court has its price tag as well, perhaps a bit more deviously contrived, though. The cases against SNC crooks are being tossed on technical grounds. (The "Jordan v." decision is totally screwing up the justice system and accused crooks, rapists and killers are walking)
"A judge has dismissed fraud and bribery charges against a former SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. vice-president (Stéphane Roy) because of unreasonable delays in the case, the second time in two weeks that a criminal case against one of the engineering company’s former executives has been halted."
"Last week, a judge threw out obstruction of justice charges against another former SNC executive, Sami Bebawi, and his lawyer, Constantine Kyres, on the grounds that it took too long to bring the case to trial. Mr. Bebawi had been accused of offering a $10-million bribe to have a key witness change his testimony in a fraud and corruption case against Mr. Bebawi. He is now the last remaining former SNC-Lavalin executive facing justice. His trial on charges of bribery and fraud in connection with SNC’s business in Libya is scheduled to begin in April."
"Earlier this month, prosecutors struck a plea bargain with former SNC chief executive Pierre Duhaime just as his trial was set to begin on his role in the McGill University Health Centre superhospital corruption case. After Mr. Duhaime admitted to “willful blindness†while his underlings paid $22.5-million to two top hospital managers in exchange for information that would help the company win a contract to build the facility, prosecutors settled for an admission of guilt on lesser breach of trust charges and dropped 15 counts of fraud and using forged documents. He was sentenced to 20 months of house arrest.
The Quebec government has said the company is exposed to a hostile takeover attempt and has vowed to protect the firm..."
The remaining charges are still enough to hurt SNC, if proven.
But what a thrill to know that the Libranos have turned us into a comedic "3rd world ........" while the crooks throw serious money around at whoever they can pay off. And the Libranos have proven that they will scramble for the loose jingle like swine rolling in their own muck.
