Grewal’s counsel alleges the Mounties were negligent in their investigation and that the Crown breached his right to a fair trial

Former Liberal MP Raj Grewal is seeking millions of dollars in damages from the RCMP and the Ontario attorney-general after being acquitted of using his political office for personal gain.

In 2020, the RCMP charged him with four counts of breach of trust and one count of fraud over $5,000. Grewal says while he sought financial help from friends and family to cover gambling losses, he never did so in connection with his duties or privileges as an MP. Grewal’s acquittal, on its own, does not rectify or excuse the RCMP’s negligence and the Crown’s misuse of the criminal justice system, adds the statement.
