The Montreal Gazette is reporting that "A man who was key to ensuring the contract to build the McGill University Health Centre superhospital was awarded to a consortium led by SNC Lavalin was taken into custody Monday after he pleaded guilty to four charges related to the fixed bid. Yanaï Elbaz, 49, winked to his younger brother Yohann as he was handcuffed and taken into custody to begin serving his prison term in the MUHC scandal that also involved Arthur Porter, the head of the MUHC when the bid was proposed and the contract was awarded."
Arthur Porter died in a Panama prison back in 2015. When he was chair of CSIS's watchdog agency Porter wired $200,000 to an Israeli arms dealer based in Montreal named Ari Ben-Menashe. Now he's dead. Things that make ya go hmmmm....
This was one of the books you recommended to me back in 2012-2013 or so....it was an eye opener.
ReplyDeletewinked at his brother as he went to jail, well if you have $10M if when you come out, not bad, especially if the sentence isn't that long. Let us hope this company is now kept out of B.C. BRIBES THAT large really can drive up costs.
