MONTREAL—The Crown has dropped its fraud case against a former construction tycoon in Quebec and four co-accused following a nine−year legal battle.
Prosecutor François Blanchette told a Quebec court judge Thursday he wouldn’t be able to meet the court’s deadline to release the Crown’s evidence against Tony Accurso and four other defendants.
