Judge & Hospital Execs Charged with Fraud

This is the first time I've ever heard of Hospital executives getting charged with fraud.

The R.C.M.P charged four individuals in Miramichi New Brunswick including a provincial court judge for fraud. See this press release from the R.C.M.P.

Would I ever like to see what they did covered by CTV or CBC. Things are starting to look up if hospital executives and a judge are getting charged and convicted. Maybe there is hope for Ontario.

Provincial Court Judge, A.R.J. (Drew) Stymiest - was found guilty of 12 counts of fraud and eight counts of breach of trust

Former CEO and President of the Region 7 Hospital Corporation, JohnTucker, of Newfoundland and Labrador was found guilty of nine counts of fraud and eight counts of breach of trust.

Former Vice-President of Finance for the Region 7 Hospital Corporation, Ian Jamieson, of the Miramichi area was found guilty of two counts of fraud.

Former Vice-President of Support Services for the Region 7 Hospital Corporation Darrell Doucette, of Prince Edward Island was found guilty of one count of fraud.

Their sentencing date is on Wednesday March 29, 2006 at 9am.
