The Liberal Party of Canada is refusing to release details of a fundraiser held by MP Raj Grewal that amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time Grewal was struggling with millions in gambling debts.
With tickets priced at $500 a person, Grewal said the event for the Brampton East Liberal riding association last April attracted 1,200 people, an unusually large crowd for a local fundraiser that featured no party luminaries.
Grewal left the Liberal caucus in November after revealing he had accumulated huge debts to feed a runaway casino-betting problem, with sources and other media reports indicating he is under RCMP investigation. The MP says money he received from unidentified friends and family have enabled him to repay those debts, and that he received none of the fundraiser revenue.
