A former bureaucrat accused of embezzling public funds has pleaded guilty to stealing $47.4 million from the Ontario government—including $10.8 million in pandemic aid—and has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The Ministry of the Attorney General said a judge sentenced Sanjay Madan to ten years in prison on April 4 after a joint submission from the defence and the Crown. Madan pleaded guilty to six counts of fraud, breach of trust, and money laundering.
