The engineering firm SNC-Lavalin is suing seven individuals — including two former employees — to recoup $22.5 million, claiming they “embezzled” that sum from SNC-Lavalin, in the awarding of the superhospital construction contract in 2010.
As part of “the embezzlement, $22.5 million of funds belonging to SNC-Lavalin were improperly and fraudulently diverted by the defendant Ben Aïssa to the defendants Porter and Elbaz for their own benefit and for the benefit of their respective families,” reads the lawsuit.
Specifically, two companies set up by Porter and Elbaz were used as their “alter egos” to receive the funds from SNC-Lavalin, the lawsuit adds.
The other defendants are Porter’s wife, Pamela Mattock Porter; Jeremy Morris, who was once Arthur Porter’s business associate in the Bahamas; Elbaz’s brother, Yohann, a Montreal lawyer; and Stéphane Roy, a former financial controller at SNC-Lavalin.
