Jacques Lamarre, the former head of SNC-Lavalin, authorized the purchase of a $25-million luxury yacht for Saadi Gadhafi, a Quebec Superior Court jury has heard.
The purchase came in 2007 shortly after SNC-Lavalin secured a multimillion-dollar contract in Libya, the jury was told.
A close working relationship with Saadi Gadhafi helped SNC-Lavalin obtain expensive engineering contracts in that country in the early 2000s, the jury has heard.
The Crown alleges the firm’s relationship with Saadi Gadhafi led to it developing a scheme that involved paying millions in kickbacks and bribes, including to Gadhafi, to ensure it kept receiving lucrative contracts in Libya.
