Ontario bureaucrat who was fired in $11M COVID-19 fraud probe had ID from Panama

Investigators have discovered a Panamanian driver’s licence and a permanent resident’s card in the name of the Ontario bureaucrat who was fired after the alleged theft of $11 million in COVID-19 funds, the Star has learned.

They also allege that Sanjay Madan, who was terminated last month as the $176,608-a-year director of the Ministry of Education’s iAccess Solutions Branch, registered a company in Panama called Newgen Ventures Inc.

Newgen Ventures in turn is an owner of three properties in Waterloo, including a 109-bedroom student housing apartment complex that was still listed for sale last week for $7,999,900, the documents say.

The court records also say Sanjay Madan purchased two villas in Hyderabad, India in 2013 and two pleasure boats in 2017 and 2018.
