Charges stayed against former Conservative MP

CALGARY, AB – A trial for former Calgary West MP Rob Anders into alleged tax fraud allegations was set to get underway in a Calgary courtroom on Monday morning, June 6, 2022.

As the trail was set to proceed, the Crown stayed all charges.

Anders was facing five charges for allegedly failing to report $750,000 in net income over the course of five years.

The charges came from a series of audits, which found discrepancies in reported losses on rental properties in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, and unexplained deposits into his bank account.

A Crown prosecutor told reporters at the Calgary Court Centre on Monday that he had received new evidence last week that would have made it difficult to secure a conviction in the case.
