FREDERICTON – Charges of fraud and uttering forged documents against a Liberal candidate in the New Brunswick election have been dropped.
Andrew Harvey was charged along with two other people and three companies in documents filed on July 29 in Woodstock provincial court.
The information alleged that between May 1, 2011, and Dec. 31, 2011, the accused defrauded the province of more than $5,000 and while knowing or believing documents were forged, caused two people to act on those documents as though they were genuine.
Last week, Harvey was suspended as a Liberal candidate and he issued a statement saying he believed the allegations were without merit.
He also apologized for not telling the Liberal party about his legal problems.
The Liberals says Harvey is rejoining their party as a candidate.
