Jury hearing Jacques Corriveau’s fraud case receives final instructions Thursday
MONTREAL — The fraud trial of longtime Liberal organizer Jacques Corriveau is expected to be in the hands of the jury by Thursday.
Corriveau, 83, a former close ally of ex-prime minister Jean Chretien, faces three charges that were laid in 2013: fraud against the government, forgery and laundering proceeds of crime.
Two days worth of final arguments wrapped up Tuesday.
Quebec Superior Court Justice Jean-Francois Buffoni told jurors he will give them final instructions on Thursday morning before they are sequestered.
