About 100 police officers conduct anti-corruption raids near Montreal
TERREBONE, Que. – A Montreal-area city was forced to close some offices Wednesday after a visit from about 100 police officers who were staging raids in a crackdown by the province’s anti-corruption unit.
The officers targeted about 10 different locations, including Terrebonne city hall and the residence of Mayor Jean-Marc Robitaille.
The anti-corruption agency also searched four other homes and four businesses.
A spokeswoman for the unit said the raids were in connection with the awarding of public contracts.
No arrests were made.
In a statement, the city’s administration said it was fully co-operating with investigators.
