One of the accused in the Norval Morrisseau art fraud ring case has reached a resolution with his community.
Benjamin Morrisseau, Norval’s nephew, appeared in court in Thunder Bay, Ont., on Thursday on forgery charges. After meeting with elders, an agreement was reached that will see him undertake reparation measures, which can be part of the restorative justice process.
“Restorative justice principles can include a focus on relationships, repairing harm, taking responsibility, and taking personal and family history into account,” according to the Ontario Crown Prosecution Manual.
I enjoy the work, pity the fraud became a cottage industry.
