Former SNC-Lavalin executive wants fraud and bribery case thrown out over delays
MONTREAL — Lawyers for a former SNC-Lavalin vice-president accused of fraud and bribery are trying to have the case thrown out due to what they claim are unreasonable delays.
Stephane Roy’s lawyers argued today in Quebec court that Crown prosecutors haven’t done enough to limit delays as legal proceedings approach the 60-month mark.
Roy was arrested in 2012 and formally charged by the RCMP in 2014. He faces charges including fraud over $5,000, bribing a foreign public official and violating United Nations sanctions against Libya.
