A long-time Conservative official in the Senate has been charged with fraud and breach of trust in relation to the awarding of federal contracts.
The RCMP announced Monday morning that Hubert Pichet, 58, is facing five charges in relation to his duties as a policy adviser in the Senate. Mr. Pichet worked for years in the office of Senator Pierre Claude Nolin.
“Claiming that he could influence the awarding of contracts, Pichet allegedly received money from companies wanting to do business with the government,” the RCMP said in a statement.
Mr. Pichet left the Senate in 2011 after a long career in Conservative circles.
