Liberal MP Geng Tan acted as an intermediary for a Chinese-Canadian businessman charged with fraud, The Globe and Mail reports.
According to the Globe, Tan hand-delivered a document to a top official at Canada’s embassy in Beijing on June 1, 2017. The document was an unsigned letter from Toronto-based businessman Xiao Hua Gong, also known as Edward Gong, who was arrested on Dec. 28, 2017, in relation to fraud charges by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) and was released on bail the next day. Tan also reportedly spoke with Chinese authorities on Gong’s behalf.
