The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear an appeal by a former chair of Montreal city council’s executive committee, who wanted to avoid facing trial on corruption charges.

The decision confirms Frank Zampino and his fellow accused will be tried on charges of fraud, breach of trust and municipal corruption, with a trial scheduled to begin in January 2025.
