OPP Charge Gerry Lougheed Jr.

By: Nick Liard

The OPP have laid charges on Gerry Lougheed Junior stemming from the 2015 Sudbury By-election.

OPP have charged Lougheed with one count of bribery under the Elections Act and also handed the premier’s former deputy chief of staff Pat Sorbara two bribery charged.

Sudbury MPP Glenn Thibeault says they were prepared for this to happen.

Thibeault says he had spoken to OPP in the past and will continue to cooperate.

Lougheed was charged criminally earlier this year but those charges were stayed.

Both Lougheed and Sorbara are expected to appear in Sudbury court on November 21st.
