Quebec’s Crown prosecutor will not be filing charges against Martin Prud’homme, head of the Sûreté du Québec, in connection with allegations of criminal offenses against him.
Prud’homme was suspended with pay in March of 2019, pending a probe by Quebec’s police watchdog, the Bureau d’enquêtes indépendentes (BEI).
