of course he was...but anyway
Gerald Tremblay, who resigned in November 2012, tells radio host he believes Charbonneau corruption inquiry will one day clear his name.
MONTREAL—Gerald Tremblay, the former mayor of Montreal who was forced to resign in 2012 amid a municipal corruption scandal, said his political career was ended by the “betrayal” of one of the 12 apostles who sat on the city’s executive committee.
Tremblay broke his long public silence in an hour-long interview Thursday morning on a Montreal-based Catholic radio station that avoided the particulars of a kickback, bid-rigging and political financing scheme that profited Tremblay’s Union Montreal political party, a small group of construction firms and the Mafia.
But Tremblay said his deep faith and the support of his family and close friends helped him to get through the dark days that followed his resignation.
Tremblay quit on Nov. 5, 2012, after claims at the Charbonneau commission, a provincial corruption inquiry, that he had known about and ignored the tricks his party employed to get around election spending laws.
