The Nova Scotia RCMP’s Commercial Crime Section has charged an Arichat man with fraud-related offences in connection with the misappropriation and theft of trust funds.
In January 2019, the Commercial Crime Section assumed the investigation of multiple complaints to RCMP detachments against 54-year-old Jason Donald Boudrot and his law firm. The investigation, named Project HUBRIS, involved obtaining statements from more than 100 victims and witnesses in Canada and the United States, as well as obtaining over a dozen judicial authorizations.
In September 2021, following the execution of search warrants at a law office in Halifax, a court process began to ensure solicitor-client privilege was maintained for records unrelated to the investigation. This process was completed in August 2024.
With the assistance of the Forensic Accounting Management Group, the investigation continued, involving the review of thousands of documents and hours of victim testimony.
As a result of the investigation, Boudrot has been charged with:
- Fraud Over $5,000
- Theft Over $5,000
- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000
- Criminal Breach of Trust
Boudrot is scheduled to appear in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court on October 26.
