Democracy Watch is filing a court application for approval to launch a private prosecution over the SNC-Lavalin scandal, alleging the RCMP did not properly investigate potential obstruction of justice and breach of trust by the prime minister and those around him.
The group said its calling for approval from the Ontario Court of Justice to proceed with a private prosecution of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for pressuring, and directing others to pressure, then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to stop the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin in 2018.
