Former Winnipeg CAO Testifies at Police HQ Inquiry
Inquiry examines over $70 million in cost overruns, procurement irregularities, and alleged bribery involving former Winnipeg CAO Phil Sheegl and Caspian Construction.
- Phil Sheegl, former Winnipeg CAO, is accused of accepting a $327,000 bribe from contractor Caspian Construction while negotiating contracts for the Winnipeg Police Service headquarters project.
- The project was $70 million over budget upon completion in 2016, prompting an inquiry into what happened.
- Sheegl denied the bribe accusation, saying the money was for an unrelated Arizona land deal, but a court ruled his explanation was 'fictional' and his actions amounted to 'disgraceful, unethical behaviour'.
