RCMP to investigate Radwanski

It looks like things are taking a turn for the worse for the former Canadian Federal Privacy Commissioner, George Radwanski. All the major Canadian media are reporting that he is the subject of an RCMP investigation due to allegations that led to his resignation last summer. See:

  • "OTTAWA - The RCMP is launching a criminal investigation into the spending of former privacy commissioner George Radwanski and several of his top officials, the National Post reported Saturday. "

  • National Post: Mounties to investigate Radwanski's spending
  • "OTTAWA -- The RCMP will launch a full criminal investigation into the spending and actions of George Radwanski, the former privacy commissioner, and several of his acolytes after reviewing a series of allegations of wrongdoing detailed in a fall report by the auditor general."

  • Globe and Mail: More heat on Radwanski
  • "Following a detailed and lengthy review of the allegations made in Auditor General Sheila Fraser's report into Mr. Radwanski's activities, the RCMP has determined that there are sufficient grounds to launch a full criminal investigation into several matters described in the report," RCMP spokeswoman Constable Nathalie Deschenes said."
