“biggest fraud of corruption in the history of Canada.”

Pierre Duhaime,  Riadh Ben Aissa,  the brothers Yanai and Yohann Elbaz – the latter having waived his  preliminary hearing from day one, Martin St. Clair Armitage, Stéphane Roy, Jeremy Morris and Arthur Porter, have been accused of fraud, corruption and, for some of them, money laundering in what a qualified investigator described as the “biggest fraud of corruption in the history of Canada.”
Porter’s name is still on the list because Canada has not yet received the offical official death certificate from Panama. His wife Pamela pleaded guilty to two counts of laundering the proceeds of crime to avoid a trial. She was sentenced to two years less a day in prison. Six months later, she was transferred to a halfway house.
The preliminary hearing will continue for a few weeks, until June 2016.
