MONTREAL – A Radio-Canada report says $1.5 million ended up in Swiss bank accounts of a former head of the Federal Bridge Corp. shortly after SNC-Lavalin was awarded a $127-million contract to refurbish a Montreal bridge.
But the report says Michel Fournier, the former FBC head, has denied he was involved in any kickback scheme.
“Enquete,” an investigative program on the CBC’s French-language network, says a commercial agency called Promotag deposited the money in accounts belonging to Fournier between 2002 and 2004.
Radio-Canada says Promotag is used regularly by SNC.
Radio-Canada says Fournier told the program, which was to be broadcast Thursday night, that he never had the accounts and that he never received a penny from SNC-Lavalin.
Fournier, who is in his early 60s, also denied getting any money from Promotag, saying he never took any kickbacks.
