The mayor of Moosonee has been charged with fraud after an investigation into missing lottery bingo reports by the Moosonee Native Friendship Centre was concluded.
Victor Mitchell, who was also the Friendship Centre’s executive director, was arrested and charged on April 25 with four counts of Fraud Over $5,000; one count of Fraud Under $5,000; two counts of Misappropriation of Funds; and one count of Breach of Trust.
The arrest came after the Sudbury Regional Enforcement Unit of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario concluded an investigation concerning missing lottery bingo reports that had not been submitted by the Moosonee Native Friendship Centre.
Mitchell will appear in court on July 9 in Moosonee.
