A former Liberal bagman has testified that party officials devised a fake-invoice scheme to pay him $40,000 shortly after he pleaded guilty to four counts of influence peddling in 1998.
Pierre Corbeil confirmed receiving the money during his testimony at the trial of Jacques Corriveau, a former Liberal organizer, on charges of fraud, forgery and laundering proceeds of crime in connection with his role in the federal sponsorship program between 1997 and 2003.
