Earlier this month, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office reportedly pressured Jody Wilson-Raybould, the country’s then-justice minister and attorney general, to curtail the criminal prosecution of a multi-million-dollar corruption and fraud case against the Quebec-based SNC-Lavalin engineering giant.
Canada’s former Justice Minister and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould has warned that although she will speak truth, she won’t tell the full story on allegations that Prime Minister Trudeau’s closest aides pressured her to abandon fraud and bribery prosecutions for the SNC-Lavalin company.
The Canadian engineering giant is facing accusations that its former executives paid millions of dollars in bribes to win contracts in Libya under Muammar Gaddafi’s rule, which collapsed in 2011.
