‘They want to know what happened in Libya,’ says Jacques Lamarre, who is now retired. ‘I’m certainly ready to meet them’
chief executive Jacques Lamarre, thrusting the company’s dealings in Libya back into the spotlight.
“I think this is normal. They want to know what happened in Libya,” said Mr. Lamarre, adding he’d been expecting the hearing. “It’s less a complaint than a request for information. I’m certainly ready to meet them.” The company struck an agreement with prosecutors in 2019, in which the company’s construction division pleaded guilty to a single charge of fraud. The corruption charge was dropped. The company agreed to pay a $280-million fine and received a three-year probation order, which includes oversight by an independent monitor. The Quebec judge who approved the agreement called it “reasonable” and said that, without such plea deals, Canada’s justice system “would collapse under its own weight.
Mr. Lamarre, who helmed SNC for 13 years, gave statements to authorities in Switzerland but was never charged. He has insisted he did nothing wrong and told The Globe Monday he’s been always been accessible and “perfectly transparent” about the case.
