The SNC Lavalin legal saga has been thrust back into the spotlight after the RCMP announced they've charged two former executives and the engineering company itself for allegedly paying bribes to obtain a Montreal bridge repair contract.
Former SNC Lavalin vice-president Normand Morin and former SNC Lavalin International VP Kamal Francis, along with SNC Lavalin and its subsidiary, each face multiple fraud and conspiracy charges.
Michel Fournier, former president and CEO of the Federal Bridge Corporation, admitted to receiving bribes from SNC Lavalin related to a 128 million dollar repair project.
Fournier was sentenced to five and a half years in prison in 2017.
