Frank Zampino, the former chair of Montreal’s executive committee, is suing the city to pay his legal fees.
Zampino resigned from his post under a cloud and is now facing charges of fraud.
He was also named this week at the Charbonneau Commission where a witness alleged he accepted cash payments and a $250,000 kitchen renovation from contractors who do business with the city.
In his motion to Quebec Superior Court, filed Tuesday, Zampino refers to a law which states that if a city councillor or member of executive committee is accused of criminal charges while exercising his duties, the city or town must cover legal fees.
So (possibly) crooks enact laws to make people pay to defend crooks against charges that they are crooks. I love it! Next step will be to enact laws providing that theft is good. Wait a minute - isn't that the fundamental law of capitalism?
