Sympatico / MSN : News : CTV.ca: "Brault pleads guilty to five sponsorship charges
CTV.ca News Staff
Jean Brault, an advertising executive who founded Groupaction Marketing, has pleaded guilty to five of six fraud-related charges against him in the sponsorship scandal.
Brault is one of three high level executives who face charges in the scandal.
Brault pleaded not guilty to the remaining charge of conspiracy and will go to trial on that charge at a later date.
Brault did not seek a plea bargain, said his lawyer, Jacques Dagenais.
'There was no bargain,'' Dagenais told the Canadian Press after the court appearance. 'As you can see the charges are all there.''
Retired bureaucrat Chuck Guite is also facing fraud and conspiracy charges for his alleged role in the scandal, as is advertising executive Paul Coffin. "
