The Ontario bureaucrat fired after the alleged theft of $11 million in pandemic aid was a “ringleader,” whose “co-conspirators” are now being investigated for a wider fraud, court has heard.
Crown lawyer Christopher Wayland said Thursday that further allegations against Sanjay Madan are being pursued and predicted others would soon be hauled into court.
In documents filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the province alleges “some or all of” Madan, his spouse Shalini, their adult sons Chinmaya and Ujjawal, and associate Vidhan Singh perpetrated “a massive fraud” to divert COVID-19 funds to numerous bank accounts at branches of TD, Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada, Tangerine, and India’s ICICI Bank.
It really pays to be a white collar criminal in Canada.
