Anti-corruption squad makes 11 new arrests

Quebec’s anti-corruption squad’s latest raid resulted in eleven new arrests.

In a report by CTV News, the raids were carried out in and around Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. The arrests are in relation to the cracking of a collusion ring believed to have committed fraud of one million dollars. The fraud was found to have been committed mostly in the installation of water mains and sewage.

The UPAC also issued warnings on Thursday to nine companies that they are now the subject of a criminal investigation.

The raids are carried out just as the Public Inquiry into alleged fraud and collusion in the construction industry has begun.
