The LCBO is suing an ex-employee for $2-million, alleging he was behind a long-running theft and fraud scheme.
According to the National Post, Francois Agostini has been accused of working with a group of accomplices to divert money and liquor, while leading the LCBO’s diplomatic sales program – offering diplomats a 40 per cent discount on the price of alcohol.
The agency believes the theft and fraud occurred over a seven-year period between 2005 and 2011. Agostini was fired in January of this year.
The troubles have resulted in the LCBO changing their diplomatic sales policy.
