RCMP find Hayer investigation allegation unsubstantiated

Last week The Hook reported on allegations made in court during the Legislature raid case that B.C. Liberal MLA Dave Hayer was investigated by the RCMP.

Following reports on The Hook and in other media, the RCMP issued a statement saying, “The allegation involving Mr. Hayer raised in court this week was examined by the RCMP Commercial Crime Section and was found to be unsubstantiated.

“The file relating to this allegation was closed. No report was made to Crown Counsel, and the RCMP did not ask for a Special Prosecutor.”

Further details are available on Bill Tieleman's blog.
