Government wants fired bureaucrat’s assets kept frozen in wake of alleged $11M COVID-19 fraud

The Ontario government opposes lifting an injunction that froze the assets of the bureaucrat fired after an alleged $11 million COVID-19 fraud because “there is a significant risk that the cash consists of proceeds of crime,” according to internal emails filed in court.

Sanjay Madan, a computer specialist terminated in November from his $176,608-a-year Ministry of Education job, has had millions of dollars in cash and real estate holdings frozen for months.

Madan has been seeking access to his assets in order to cover his legal bills, but the court injunction remains in place until Jan. 29 and could be extended.

In documents filed with the Ontario Superior Court, the province alleges last spring “some or all of” Madan, his spouse, Shalini, their adult sons, Chinmaya and Ujjawal, and Madan’s associate Vidhan Singh perpetrated “a massive fraud” to funnel $11 million in payments to hundreds of TD and Bank of Montreal accounts.

DOJ says NO ‘direct evidence’ of plot to capture, assassinate politicians during Capitol riot

The lead prosecutor overseeing the investigation into the Capitol riot backed away Friday from a suggestion in a court filing that participants in the takeover of Congress last week were seeking to take officials prisoner and potentially even execute them.

Images of intruders with zip-tie handcuffs and video of protesters chanting “Hang Mike Pence” have led many lawmakers and other observers to conclude that some in the crowd were intent on capturing — and possibly killing — prisoners.

However, acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin told reporters Friday that prosecutors don’t have concrete proof of such an effort.

Why did the City of Toronto compile a dossier on Rebel News for covering a protest?

Back in the summer of 2020, a protest group occupied the town square — Nathan Phillips Square — right outside city hall, in the heart of downtown Toronto, for three weeks. Despite breaking numerous sections of the trespass act, it was Rebel News that was on the receiving end of poor treatment from security and police.
